Nice one Carlos, I might give those a shot if I can find any! Now that the sun is out the bottom half of the windscreen is just the dash reflected :roll:

No :( Which is kind of a good thing, you don't see *too* many barry-cars :lol:

Although I'm pretty sure I saw a 4th gen drive down my road on R plates (over here, for 1 year after passing you have to wear R plates and you're restricted to 50mph max), poor thing has some horrible bumper.

I had a lude once and the previous owner had used so much silicone polishing up the dash, when the sun hit it I was blinded! I use Screenies matt finish dash wipes from Tesco, cost about £2 for 30 I think and they smell like strawberries and give the dash plastics a lovely finish.. dunno what they'd be like on leather though.

Wipe down with an all purpose cleaner and then use Aerospace 303 to protect it. Spray on and wipe straight off for a matt finish.

Then use the 303 in the engine bay for some shiny rubber bling.

Wipe on wipe off if you want matt, leave for a bit of buff away and it can be shiny.
