The guage cluster lens is usually cleaned with a plastic polish. If your local auto parts store doesn't have any try a store that specializes in motorcycle accessories.

Just be very sure that the cloth you use on it is very clean. Any grit or dirt in the cloth can scratch the lense easily, and that don't come out.

The last car I had with a cloth interior I did the following to protect it. I worked in the warehouse of a furniture store and one of my jobs was to apply the spot repellant to a couch or chair (or whatever) when a customer orders it that option. This stuff was pretty nice and lasted, I'm told, about 7 years. One day I pulled my car around to the dock and sprayed all the cloth and carpet of the interior. I never saw a spot in there that wouldn't come out. If you can talk a furniture store into doing this it should prove to be fruitful. Just don't get overspray onto anything you don't want a spot on (ironic isn't it?). I got some over spray on my radio face and it stayed there forever.

Here's the good part. The store would charge about $90-$100 to spot-guard a couch. It took me about 5-10 minues to apply the stuff and about 12 hours for it to dry. The total cost amount for the spray used costs the store about 35 CENTS!!!
