New lens cover for cluster

Nicky92 · 08-30-2017, 09:13 PM

My cluster has a lot of surface scratches over the years.

I want to replace it with a nice new one. I can't even find a part number online anywhere.

Is this even possible? Has anyone done it?

Not sold individually but you can try plastic polish, it's restorable to a certain extent.

If it is that big of a deal to you, you can buy a used cluster on ebay or from a wrecker and do the swap.

How are you scratching your gauge cluster? Aside from a light dusting, mine never get touched.

Probably used a paper towel or dirty rag to clean it. It scratches easily. I only use my softest most clean microfiber on it and apply almost no pressure to keep from scratching it. Some people don't understand "light dusting" and just go all ham-handed with it.

This is what I always do. Old habit I picked up when I worked at a detail shop many many years ago.

1.) Hold vacuum near the cluster (or any interior parts that you're cleaning) and use a clean detailing brush or paint brush to loosen and brush duct towards the vacuum.
2.) Spray cleaning product onto a clean micro fibre cloth and gently wipe the surface. Repeat step 1 if you see any dust or dirt on the surface while wiping.

Realistically, the only thing that should ever touch the cluster plastic would be a microfiber while you dust your interior.
