   How do you get little white/grey spots off of clear plastic.   
      
   Especially when there is no reason they are there!   
      
      
   I have my speedometer cluster out so now is the time to clean it.   
      
   It has a clear plastic window in front that at the top is just about   
   vertical. Further down it curves around to 30^ from vertical, and the   
   more it approaches horizontal the more spots it has.   As if they are   
   caused by something that falls.    Otherwise, the plastic is like new,   
   totally clear, without a scratch, and even wheree the dots are, I can't   
   feel anything.   2005 Toyota.   
      
   Rubbing with a watery rag does nothing, rubbing with my finger does   
   nothign also.   
      
   Greyish spots one millimeter or a little bigger.   
      
   What are they?   
      
   What are they from?   
      
   I spit as much as the next guy, but I don't remember ever spitting in   
   the car at all, and certainly nowhere near hard enough to reach the   
   speedometer.   So where did this stuff come from?  Even in the rain with   
   the convertible top down, it's not going to get rained on.**  what made   
   these spots?   
      
   And, most important, how should I get rid of them?   
      
      
      
   **Sometimes I drive in the rain with the top down, but even I don't get   
   wet, so how could the speedometer get wet.   And I've done that only for   
   5 minutes in this car.   (In an earlier car I drove for an hour until   
   the rain stopped. Get a few drops on the top of the rear seat, but   
   everything else stays dry.  The harder it rains the faster you have to   
   go to keep dry.
