My previous owner used some form of interior cleaner which has 'burnt' the plastic on my instrument cluster and on my clock. It's kind of cloudy now. I can take a pic of anyone wants to see.

I don't really want to get a new cluster. How can I fix this?

I know it won't be a very simple job, obviously I'll have to remove the cluster, remove the plastic then sand it back etc. But when it comes to sanding back and repolishing the plastic, what do I have to do and what should I use?

Thanks

 

It will actually be a very simple job. Remove the black plastic surround piece and the gauge cluster, which if you've never done before can still do within 5 minutes. Then buff it very lightly or just get a soft rag and any kind of plastic cleaner and rub til it's clear again. Oh and I just remembered you said the clock too. That pops out just by prying on the edges with a flathead, and you'll just have to rub with a rag and plastic cleaner.

 

The plastic cover is like $15-20 from the dealership.

 

wow, I didn't realise you could buy just the plastic bit for the cluster. Can you buy the plastic bit for the clock too?

 

If you're going to be buying stuff you might as well get the clock too from a junkyard or from someone on H-T for $10 or $15.

I don't think you can.

Is that the cluster plastic for 1995 GSR?
