Default Cleaning the gauges on my GS430

The scratches on the gauges on my GS430 were driving me nuts so I decided to give a shot at cleaning them. They came out amazing, like new really. Used a cordless drill with a 2" foam pad with some Megiars Plastix. Bezel comes off pretty easily, just pull straight back and unplug the electrical connection.

It’s ridiculous how many people still clean the interior plastic with regular glass cleaner and a cotton towel, and don’t notice that they get foggier the more they try to clean them. Yours look great now, we’re you just trying to clean up the lenses or were u doing the LED upgrade to your cluster and just did this part while u were already in there?

Thanks. I actually just picked up the car a couple months ago and have been doing some cosmetic jobs that I noticed needed done and this was on my hit list.
