    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Do any of our experienced GS owners know of a way to bring the shine back to an old instrument cluster.
I've found a company that will replace the lens in a GS850 instrument cluster and while I had them apart I wondering if there was a good treatment on the market to bring back the semi gloss on the plastic body.
The local car detailing shop has recommended a two pack gloss arcylic spray on, but before I go down that road I was wondering if anybody else has done this before.
thanks.
 
Vaseline works a treat, too. No joke. It picks up dust, but it looks fantastic if you rub it in.
 
Steve, that Mothers product you recommended works a treat, simply wipe on and wipe off.
but the plastic has to be clean first.
I couldn't get the product you recommended, I think they bottle it in Australia as "Naturally Black" from Mothers in a red squeeze bottle.
thanks for that, gotta go the wife just poked her head in MY shed.
cheers.
