    I put my gauge cluster back together,after painting the inside white. I used gloss white,as it was the only paint I could get here,that you can use on plastic! What a wonderful difference! I had no idea how much brighter this would make the panel! Tomorrow I'll put the panel back in the car. I want to thank all the members who have suggested this so simple cure for the "dim dash lights" syndrome!:)

    What did I do with my Comet ?

    I put another coat of wax on it , buffed it within an inch of its life , attended a huge car gathering in Deland , Florida then drove it about 150 miles around a three county area. :) Cometized
