Alright well I'll just stop fussin' over nothing as I'm being told over the internet and from friends and leave it, my buddy wants to do this right now lol.

but I guess what others should take from this is

Dont use Acetone as we've learned and if you already have polishing cream will fix this it's just added work as I've found out...but I was damn happy when that haze disappeared :P

So you could try changing your LED's to white (if they aren't already) and coloring the light pipe(just behind the buttons) with a sharpie or adding a film to the back side of the buttons to have more than one color. I dunno, just a thought. I haven't experimented with that radio yet.

wow! yeah, thats completely different than mine. I wonder what size LEDs those are. they look like they are mounted at a 90 degree angle. maybe a 5050 SMT's?

yeah I might dabble with that another day and yes the lights are 90degree's really odd. If I do the radio it'll be white LED's not a film.
