If you could strip the dials down and get the clear plastic bezels out, you could go to a sign maker and see if they will laser-cut new ones out of clear acrylic?

For rejuvinating the black binnacles, you could try to wet and dry the scratches out and then repaint (using plastic primer/acid etch primer to start). Some car interior renovation materials might be useful - has halfords got anything?

I occasionally read the classic car magazines and there are often good advice and also suppliers for specialist stuff for these kind of jobs - do you know anyone who might have some you can borrow?

good luck

I heard different sides on t-cut and plastics. If removing scratches on clear plastic, i would suggest some abrasive toothpaste and a ball of cotton wool. Works quite well on Plexiglas and acrylic sheets.

ta, and keep the tips comming ,as other falk will benifit,the scratches are quite deep ones,on the casing .i read in one of the auto books myself and someone asked this same question as there dont seem to be much info on clock repairing'

[Guest MaD.VeZ]

If the clock body doesn't have a textured finish, you could try sanding the scratches out and lightly running a flame over the surface , but it depends on the type of plastic. Its best to try it in a discrete area first(maybe inside if possible).
