Guys I have a 69 Camaro speedo that needs oil cleaned off the face with out removing the numbers. Anyone tried removing and saving the numbers ? I think it's motor oil? Thanks Vince.
That looks like cigarette oils. Smokers car? I can't imagine motor oil getting on the speedometer. I don't have a proven method, I would try a Q-tip swab but it seems risky.
Glass cleaner or white vinegar might be gentle enough. Definitely not oil.
I would agree with the oil residue statement. With grease in the speedo cable, there has been a mist of oily residue on the ones I have removed in the past. A gentle cleaner of diluted dish cleaner (oil and grease cutter) like Dawn is called for, no scrubbing or rubbing though. Spray on and rinse off.
The Dawn an water is definitely working. Thanks Kevin :)
Looking better!
