    ISO Clock Case

    I have the original case and the clock is working, but the front is scratched. Does anyone have a case from a clock that is not working?

    They're very hard to find, however you could use a rubbing compound kit to polish out those scratches. I did on both my clock and instrument cluster and the two look like new!

    Thanks. I'll try that. Are there other products that work? $230.00 seems really expensive.

    Novus plastic polish product that I have used and has been highly recommended on other forums (motorcycle/car). It is reasonable cost for the kit of the three polishing levels.
    Check out reviews and how to use. Google it.

    ^ditto. There are much cheaper kits. Was just referencing it as an example. There are much cheaper kits available, even for the 3m perfect-it set.

    Would you consider these fine or heavy scratches?

    It is kind of hard to tell from your picture how deep they are. The two scratches on the top near center can you run your finger nail over them and does your finger nail catch on them or just kind of slide over them?

    There is one small scratch where my finger nail catches on it. The others it slides over.

    Sounds like the Novus kit of three I posted above should work for you. Not very expensive either and I would give it a try.

    Or contact Yoda to see if he still makes the replacements. See post #6 above for the link from DavidProehl.

    Keep us updated on how it goes.
