Nice one.  :) Looks spiffing... How did you polish the dustcover? Was it always clear?

Thks, AR, the dustcover is a slightly smokey greyish colour, and was in pretty good condition. I have a random orbital buffer, and used "Meguiars Plastx Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish" on the pad to restore the shine. The description on the bottle says it "removes fine scratches, cloudiness, and stubborn oxidation". Takes ages tho, and won't remove deep scratches. Doogle  :-)
