I came across some old gauges I rejuvenated somewhat by removing the chrome 
ring, cleaning with 000 steel wool and Coke Cola, then chrome polish.  I 
sprayed the faces with Pledge, several really light coats with drying time 
inbetween seems to work better.  Just what I did...  no financial interest in 
either Coke Cola or Pledge ..... unfortunately.
