Friendly tip on Plastic Lenses

[cook_dw]

If you have scratches in your cluster lens or gauge lens dont waste money on new ones.  If you have a DA polisher use it along with #105, 205 & 7 to polish the plastic.  I even did a cluster housing but you have to be careful not to discolor..

Thanks , for the tip , I was wondering about using the headlight refinish kit from 3 m does an excellent job on the later model headlights....

Not to ask a silly question but what is "105, 205, & 7"

Sorry its the Meguiars compounds and polish.

You can use any compound you happen to stock. Same principle as buffing headlights after sanding. Some headlights do require clearing as buffing alone will not retain the finish.

I've had good results using toothpaste to clean up light scratches on dash lenses, but that looks outstanding! Nice work.

So if I run out of toothpaste, which Meguiars should I substitute? (sorry, I ordered my coffee with extra sarcasm this morning)
