While you are at it. Just a few more screws and you can freshen up those needles. Do NOT use any type of cleaner on the clear plastic. A soft cloth will clean it up and remove any smudges.

I used the Testor's fluorescent orange. Small bottle, $1.89 at Michael' and a fine bristle brush. Probably have enough to do 20 needle sets in each bottle. Takes two coats for proper coverage.

You'll need to pull the clock hands off to do it properly. Check the hand alignment when you replace them.
