If you bought your Supra 2nd hand like me, and it seems as though the original owner cleaned their gauge cluster with steel wool, here is what I did to clean it all up.
1. Remove 2 screws holding in cluster. T20 torx.
2. Tilt gauge out from the top, pull out and turn sideways to allow access to the back.
3. Remove 3 connections in the back.
4. On your table, remove all small T? torx screws from rear of cluster.
There are clips on both sides to release and cluster will pull apart. Do this gently, as there is a plug inside that is connected between the pieces.
5. Once you have them separated, remove only the silver torx screws surrounding the board.
6. Once those are removed, the surround will separate, leaving a normal rectangle screen.
7. I used Chemical Guys Compound on a microfiber cloth, and got to rubbing. After a few minutes, all the anti-glare coating will be gone. You can then add an anti-glare sheet, wrap, or whatever you choose. I left mine bare.
Once that's done, do everything backwards to reassemble.
***Make sure you don't drop and lose the red rubber button in the corner of pic 5. It's what makes the connection for your reset button.
***For the love of god, unplug your battery before doing this, and leave your hatch open, or cover the latch with a towel. I'm not responsible if you brick your screen.
