Malcolm.... and group...
While you have your guage apart... I have a little trick I discovered by
chance 20 years ago...and I've done it ever since...on numerous
Triumphs...
If you wipe the inside face of our black instruments with a rag dampened
in "ENDUST" spray... and then re-install the bezel immediately...
The face stays beautifully deep wet-black... w/o dust... All I can
figure... it repels dust as your putting the bezel back on... and the
Endust doesn't have an opportunity to evaporate/oxidize, like it would
if you spayed it on some furniture... so it continues to just look
great, and keeps looking great for a very long time.
That's one of my best little cosmetic tricks... and now ya'all know.
enjoy! :)
