Turntable dust cover cleaning

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.

Everyone

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.

Thanks all for the feedback and advice. There are a couple of suggestions I'll try here regarding cleaning solution and microfiber cloths. I'll report back on results. And, as several have mentioned, it is not a scratch issue as the cover is in perfect condition. It is very much about the film that is a result of both the static from the dry climate, and perhaps use of Sprayway. I have a "Hudson Hi-Fi Vinyl Record Cleaning Arm Anti Static Brush" that will move around when I'm running a cloth over it, from the crazy amount of static.
