Default Cloudy/Hazey Instrument Cluster fixed!!

Started noticing a hazing developing on the glass/plastic protecting the Instrument cluster possibly from years of wiping it down. I used a product called plastx and I was incredibly surprised at the results.

My videography sucks and the video is pretty unprofessional in many ways...So bare with me. But after watching this, you should have no fear tackling this issue on your own.

Here is a screenshot showing one of the most obvious changes. The car just feels newer.

Wow, good to know. The console looked pretty good too. Is this stuff designed for headlight lenses?

I believe it is designed for clear plastic in general which makes it ideal for headlights as well.

I used the PlastiX years ago (not on a lexus car), it is deigned for the head lights but, it works with plastics. If you have something that is plastic that is very scratched up, it does work really nice.

I would think any headlight restorer would work the same on the cluster like he did...

No question, impressive results... Something to remember if I run into the same thing (my old LS430 had that issue, wish I saw this then)
