Glare off dashboard
Hi everyone, get glare on the inside of windshield off the dash I can see HUD trim, vent, the glare distorts the view out the windshield. Am I the only one thats bothered by this? I suppose if I got a dash pad it would be better anyone tried it?

Rule #1: Never ever put ArmorAll on your dash.
About three years ago my son detailed my C-4 I had at the time and he put ArmorAll on the dash. It was months before I could get enough of it off so I could see clearly thru the windshield again.

If it has been treated with a protectant, try taking a moist rag with some mild dishwashing soap (like Ivory or Dove) and wipe it down. That should help a bit.

Maguires makes a low lustre vinyl treatment that is excellent. Softens the vinyl, has no offensive odor, and leaves the interior looking natural but clean. No. 1, no dash glare on the windshield! I use nothing else.

A Dash Topper pad works great. The hole in the dash topper is the exact size of the HUD's clear lens. The pad covers the raised borders of the HUD lens which is the part that refelcts on the winshield directly in your line of vision. I have black interior so obviously I have a black Dash Topper. Before I bought the Dash Topper, I was really regretting getting the HUD option my C5. It made a world of difference for me.
