Default gauge repair

Most of you know that I had to do some electrical work on the boat last month. One of the problems was I could not read the Yamaha gauges because of oxidation. The guy that did it for me said the glass could not be replaced and you had to buy new gauges for $500. I knew that I could find some used gauges for less than that so I told him not to worry about the gauges. Well after I got the boat back I googled replacement gauges and came across a post on THT that said you could wet sand them and this is what I did. I started with a 80 grit and worked my way to a 2200. I think it came out pretty good.
