Gauge Cover
« on: February 06, 2006 - 09:51:17 AM »
I have been working gauges and the clear plastic is almost like oxidized. I was wondering if anyone has a good idea of what to use on them or if anyone makes a new one. I have used a light rubbing compound on plastic headlinghts and it's workes awesome but I am afraid to take a chance and ruin it especially if I can get another one. Thanks.

I used the kit from eastwood for polishing plastic. Hand drill and a 4" buff with the plastic compound, comes out looking like new. If you have deep scratches, wetsand those out starting maybe with 400 grit, depends on how deep the scratches. Then continue wetsanding, working up to 1500 grit. Then polish.
