Philco Car Radio Cosmetic Resto
#8

Next we will take care of the push buttons and faded dial indicator. Pretty simple, actually. These were just dirty with some cigarette residue. Fortunately, these did not get burn marks. I just wipe off the dirt with a wet towel then I polish with liquid car wax. I do the tops, undersides, fronts, sides and in between. The wax not only cleans but polishes as well. Minor scratches can be taken out with rubbing compound. A Q-Tip works well for in between the push buttons. Most of the time the dial indicator is faded. This one was really bad! I use Rustoleum American Accents Glow Orange #209638. It's a good match.

Start at the lower right with the pictures. Sorry for the order.
