Clear Instrtument Bezel

Can you use the headlight restorer kit on the Clear instrument bezel?

I seen a mother's kit for 21 bucks.

I used the 3M kit that came with sand paper and a drill attachment. Worked pretty good.

I use Meguires PlastX. It works great. I use it on my Z71 headlights and park/turn lenses too.

Re: Clear Instrtument Bezel

I have the plastic x and have used it on headlights...for the tails signals and in this case cluster lens would you sand it like the headlights? Or is that too much for these peices that are usually not in as bad of shape?

I wouldn't think you would need to sand a cluster lens. The scratches are usually pretty minor. I just polish them and wax them. They come out amazing
