Note to self, Speedo cleaning / restoration
Be very careful what you use to clean silver inner dial face.

Update, I actually was too impatient. It looks pretty good.

I opened this and was happy to see it was about a speedometer and not a swim suit.

It does look good. What did you use- the hand wipes, water, octane boost, or a combination?

Actually went with WD-40. The Tub O Towels made the mess. Should’ve probably started with mild soap and water, but it ended well.
