Polishing Fogged Gauges

Post by fischelr01 »

The previous owner used something that accumulated on my gauge lenses. With some elbow grease and polishing compound I was able to get off whatever was on there... I'd now rate the lenses at a firm 7/10 in clarity... Anyway to get me back approaching a 10?

Also, whatever he used ate the wood grain to pieces... New set on it's way!

It’s glass, use some 0000 steel wool and some glass cleaner. Should come perfectly clean unless there’s some on the inside of the lens.

Did we ever get the guages cleaned up? How about that new dash? Did you do the other side too? The glove box. I'm guessing the PO left the boat uncovered in the sun.
