Default Crap on radio screen....

Just got a transmitter real cheap. Though it's got spots on the screen, and other parts of radio, which looks to be from maybe nitro fuel(still waiting for a reply from the guy I bought it from to see wat it was). And I was trying to find somin to clean it up. Windex dosn't work, someone told me to try rubbing alchohol(is hydrogen peroxide the same thing? cause I tried tht) Though I was thinking that scratch remover or somin. It like fills in the gap so it might work for this, just seems like the screen might have been eaten away by the stuff but it dosn't seem to have created pits or anything. Any body got any ideas?
Got a crappy picture too.

I had a friend of mine once use a "plastic polish" on the screen of my cell phone that cleared up some scratches, I would think that something like that might work..

I don't recall the brand of the stuff...

At your LHS they have plastic polish that is used for removing scratches from airplane canopies. A bottle will last a long time.

I have also used it in the diffs of some rc cars to polish the gears and reduce friction. Great stuff.

No not yet. Forgot all about it. I'm gonna try some stuff, alchahol didn't work. But I found out it was from CA glue activator (something like that, probobly like epoxy).

A light T-cut (wipe back n' forth - not in circles) then a good polish with auto-gleam. Jobs a goodun'.
