I had my clock rebuilt by Radiopiolt and it looks great, now I need to clean up the other gauges. I saw a posting someplace that showed how to remove the gauge faces, however I can not find it. Can someone share with me how to remove the gauge faces so I can clean the lenses and bezel?
Thanks

A word of caution painting those needles, I painted on on a perfect working speedo once and the needle bounced like crazy after.

What if you clean the inside glass with shaving cream.....keeps it from fogging the bathroom mirrors...

Or maybe spit, works wonders on scuba masks.

Boy that would be terrible to not have working gauges because of a little paint. I'll let you know next year.

Brady thanks, I will give it a shot, and fortunately I have a couple of spares to practice on. As for the anti-fog, I have not given it any thought but I do know that spit only did a so so job of keeping my mask clear. I guess maybe I only did a so so job of getting it on the lenses. I think the shaving cream is interesting but I wonder what it will look like in a couple of months. I think I will go for clean and see where that goes for now. Thanks for the suggestions however.

I think I would use the Rain X anitfog on the inside lens. Not sure how long it will last but Works good on my Helmet visor.

I drilled some holes around the gauge to even out the atmosphere to help with the fogging. I think Radiopilot had done the same on his.
