Re: 1977 High Sierra ole farm truck

Hi,

I have a 1977 Sierra Classic with a similar and seemingly original dashboard. Can I try your plastic lens cleaner idea with the dash in place? Is there any downside or risk to this project? I want to keep Abigail as original as possible, so I'm afraid to damage anything.

Second question: what adhesive would you use to reattach the metal detail to the window handle?

Thanks!

Michelle

In the interest of helping, not hi jacking here, I think the question was about using the lens cleaner to remove the yellowing from the bezel. Michelle, you can clean and polish the cluster bezel (and the clear lens itself) by hand and achieve good results. You can probably do a decent job with them in-place with careful masking, but they are so easy to remove with just a few screws. It'll go quicker with better results. And the risk of damaging nearby finishes is removed. Maybe gmachinz will share what products he uses since they obviously work well.
