Turntable dust cover cleaning


Howdy. I have an issue with my Sota turntable dust cover. Pretty much every day, I have to clean streaks off the cover. There is a very high amount of static. I do run a very small humidifier as well. I live in Colorado (very dry climate) and the problem is worse on very dry days. I use Sprayway glass cleaner which has no ammonia and is safe for plastic. I'm assuming the cover is either plastic or plexiglass.

Here's a photo of it - https://imgpile.com/images/G1MMZ8.jpg

Any ideas?

Thanks much !

Novus plastic polishing kit. As @mijostyn said, work in straight lines. I don’t know if you will get them out, but you may be able to make them somewhat less visible. After that, just dust with a swiffer. If you can’t get anywhere with the Novus, buy a new one and just dust with a swiffer. 

Novus #1 is great.  It's supposed to have antistatic properties, so it may work for you.  If the cover is scratched, try #2 or #3 and then #1.

OP is not talking about scratches, just streaks, static and dust

"Pretty much every day, I have to clean streaks off the cover. There is a very high amount of static."

Nasty Scratches

I made a terrible mess out of a dust cover which was under something else I was working on. STUPID!

. I took it to my auto body shop. They got it down to the point where I could perfect it with the Nova 3 step kit

They also can buff up old cloudy plastic headlight covers on cars, big differences: amount of light and appearance

Seems to me that whatever you are using to "clean" is the cause of the residue in the photo. I have used Sprayway myself for windows and it is far from streak-free. You might get better results with a mild solution of distilled water and white vinegar.

For windows, I spray the window and then buff it dry with newsprint (yes, newsprint), but for the turntable cover I would use a soft, liny free cloth like one used to clean computer screens.

Not sure why all the talk about swirls, when that isn't the issue.
