For these new coated ones, what is the best way to clean them?

I just used a soft cloth, no cleaning product needed. Tough as nails coating, I had a bit of trouble getting the wire connector through the frame and handled it fairly rough. NO SCRATCHES, marks or anything on the perspex.

Thanks Fred, you did a great job getting them coated with the protective stuff. Mine finally arrived yesterday and I fitted it, but I decided to temporarily use a 12v SLA Battery for power source all tucked away nicely in the glove box. Switch on and off via the dimmer switch currently will probably connect a remote RF to it for a trial. I may hard wire it eventually. matey.

Yay, it arrived! And it works!
Now I just have to find time to install it.

Great job Fred, thanks. Stay safe with that typhoon bearing down on Shanghai.

Although I've been told this super dupper coating is chemical resistant, would you fully trust?! I don't but that is just me... I've never really trusted chemicals lolll So... hot water, clean microfiber cloth and you it should last forever.

Windex, amonia based, else = at your own risks! Let me know how it turns out, I'm lazy to give it a try (seriously, haven't tried anything else other than hot/warm water). Works just fine for me. I guess if you have a lot of finger prints in it you could use hand soap or at the most dish soap.

(apologies for the late response btw, no excuses really - owe you one)
