Hello

Put your hands over the plastic shroud (toward the windscreen), you will feel 2 indents and.....pull gently but firmly
2 metal clips hold the plastic cover

you can then easily remove the clocks, just a few screws - BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU SCREW IT BACK ON AS THE PLASTIC CAN BE BRITTLE - DONT OVER TIGHTEN

also unscrew or unclip the speedo and undo the instrument clamp
you can unclip the buttons and leave them connected if you like.

A can of air is good that is used to clean PCs

all the best
