In this case, "they" is me. Thanks for the compliment!

Everything you need to know about restoring your cluster can be found here -

Not all clusters will need the entire process, depending on how "new" and "original" you want to make it. In my case, the bezel and black insert were stripped and repainted, the needles were repainted with red-orange florescent paint, gauge faces gently cleaned, red and green warning light inserts were replaced, and finally assembled with a brand new face lens with unfaded numbers and such. My lens was dull, scratched, and the pale green markings faded. The new lens was $45, well worth the cost for best looks.
