[TR] TR6 gauge cleaning - any advice?

[kinderlehrer at comcast.net]

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.
