[ODZKing]

Beautiful!!! I used Pledge on the bezel, what did you use?

 

[Michael789]

Uv resistant silicone, you can get it at lowes

 

[ODZKing]

Hmm, just did a search and came up with zip. Just caulk.
What does it look like?

Uv resistant silicone, you can get it at lowes

 

[Michael789]

Actually I should have been more clear sorry about that, it is a clear uv silicone caulk ! I know it sounds crazy but it works better than anything and that includes meguiars. I was working on a dash and it had some kind of dirt spots that would not go away no matter what so I tried the caulk and the results were unbelievable! This stuff will bring everything back from the dead. You try it on something old and faded and you'll be amazed! Get a lint free rag and caulk out an area and just start rubbing it in,don't leave it globed on in any spots just keep rubbing until it's all worked in and smooth, it works on everything.

Wow that's really nice Michael .. I'm looking forward to the leather dash next

 

[Michael789]

Thanks and I can't wait to get started on it either.

 

[ODZKing]

Doesn't that fill in the lines and grain of the bezel?

[Michael789]

No just keep wiping it off it gets thick but it comes off and doesn't fill in the wood grain , all it does is look fantastic when it's done.

 

[Mr.SpeedFreak]

Wow, really nice work man! And cool trick with the clear caulking, I'll have to keep thst in mind for any future projects

 

[Tommy Paine]

Very nice! I will try it on my 73 RR
