I think you are being anal retentive! The dust cover is to prevent dust from getting to delicate bearings and records. Dust will not hurt the dust cover at all. A microfiber cloth and Windex will take care of it. You might have to wipe it off once a week or so. Swirl marks are extremely easy to remove buffing out with automotive compounds. I use Menzerna's 2500. It will make the plastic look like glass and remove any light scratches and swirl marks. Taking any cover on and off the dust cover repetitively will definitely cause swirl marks.
Dust cover for my dust cover?
I know the title sounds dumb but I just purchased a basically brand new condition Pioneer PL-90 vintage turntable. Even the acrylic dust cover is like brand new. I'm trying to keep it that way. I want to keep dust from ever getting on the acrylic. I know I could just throw a microfiber towel over it or something when I'm not using it but I would like something that looks a little more professional. What would be the kindest material to come in contact with the acrylic without leaving any scratches whatsoever? Would love to buy a pre-made rectangular cover that fits but this thing is huge. Approximately 24 in by 17 in by 8. So far I can't find anything pre-made even close to this 24-in length. Ideas? Thanks
