46105, Made a big mistake with my gauges this weekend! READ AND LEARN!!!!!!!!!
Posted by a_miller_76, Apr-28-03 02:54 AM
Okay boys, I was taking my indiglow gauges out this weekend cuz I sold 'em to Weezle745....and I still had some residue on my factory gauges. So I was going to just clean that off and leave it stock until I could get my new gauges. Well, my DUMBASS decided since I didn't have any Goo-Gone to just grab my girlfriend's fingernail polish remover. Should work, right? Well it sure as fuck did work. The black on our gauges is NOT PLASTIC! In fact it's just paint, and before I knew it I had dissolved everything down to the orange backing on my tach. So now I have this big fuckin hole in my gauge and at night there's a big orange blob....:(
Don't make the same mistake I did boys!
