Re: cluster lense cleaning

The bezal is so cheap, it's a waste of time to try and paint it IMO (unless you are on VERY strict budget). Last time i checked, Rick's had them for like 25 bucks, and they fit just shy of perfect.
For the lens, all the scratching is on the out side, and all the lettering ids on the inside. I use a buffer pad on a cordless drill and buff the lens with mothers mag polish. Works great.
