I decided to try and clean up the speedo face, so I tried something I had a little success with some time ago, and wiped it with a clean rag dipped in car wax polish, repeated a couple of times and was well pleased with the result. The mucky stuff was removed without taking any of the once white and black paint with it:

Having got that out of the way, I proceeded to put the speedo back together again, with the glass cleaned, it looks a lot more workmanlike:

Nice job John, I had similar success with my grotty speedo, surprising how well such an old unit cleans up.

Looks great!

Good job, John.

I have had good results with hand soap (in the pump dispenser) warm water and a sponge.

Received these yesterday, stainless steel rims and spokes from Central Wheel Supplies in Birmingham, I feel a little wheel building coming on:

Wheelbuilding is such good therapy.

You probably know but, with stainless, don't forget to use a bit of grease on the threads, it stops them gauling.
