The dashboard of my new Citigo has annoying reflection of the demister grill in the windscreen, has anyone else experienced this ???, If anyone is interested I have innovated a way of rectifying this.

Have you tried wearing polarising shades, when safety and light levels permit their use?

Very interested in a solution. Post it up, please.

I've always gone with the polarising sunglasses, but would be interested in other methods of reducing dash top reflection.

I think the right kind or plastic dash cleaner would give a more matt finish that would help. Anyone use such a thing?

I use a matt finish cleaner, but it doesnt make it any more matt than the dash is already.. It juet doesnt make it shiny and tacky like some cleaners do either.

What do you use mate? Shiny is the problem with reflections and I have found that some plastic trim is more shiny than it would be because of the kind of cleaner (polish?) a dealer has used on it - not a good look. Thanks.

It just cleans, doesnt smell that ive noticed and doesnt shine either.

Which is what i wanted.. Im still getting that new car smell now. 23k miles and on a march 2013 car lol.

Cant be doing with fake smells tbh.

Thanks for that - will try it!

No worries.

It also gets off dirty marks.. Which my local detailer told my mate wouldnt come out of his Fiesta interior.

Sent him a picture of 5 mins work with that stuff. It all came off.

Dno what that weapon of a detailer was using lol.

Think out of the box!!! Purchase matt black anti slip sheet cut to size & place on dashtop in critical area, if you get it right problem solved !!!
