Re: dash cluster

take the bezel off and then theres a clear plastic piece under that, just unbolt it and wipe everything down with a microfiber and it should be good.

If the clear plastic is scratched, I have used alum polish to hand buff out the scratches, have even used 1000 sand paper to clean up heavy scratches then the alum polish. works on them sunglasses that you leave on the dash and get all scratched up. same deal with the plastic headlights

Re: dash cluster

Be extremely careful when working with the actual plastic cluster part. (some of the screws will be screwed to it). Over time it becomes brittle and if handled roughly it will crack.
