gauge cluster

well i was curious today!!!! yesterday i bought a 3m head light restorer for my wifes van and it worked awesome.... so today i was messing around my truck and I noticed that the plastic on my gauges was cloudy so of coarse i took it apart and tried it. holly cow it looks new so if you guys think you need to buy a new one forget it just get the headlight restorer from 3m it works like a charm.....

Re: gauge cluster

cool!, before i did my autometer cluster i was going to try the same thing but i was always afraid that the plastic was too thin and the compound was too aggressive. Your a brave guy, ill try it on the next one we are putting together.
