matt or gloss?

scousegit · 15 Aug 2009 at 23:56

anyone able to assist me on this ?

Cleaning the interior of my A8, and I've used some matt stuff to clean the dash / interior panels, problem is it doesn't look great, is this the normal stuff to use on Audi interiors etc? Matt or gloss shine spray?

thanks

depends on your own preference, but gloss on the dash top can reflect on the imsdie of the screen imparing visibility. Matt or semi-matt looks better imo.
Armour-all is easy to get and cheap enough

when I first had my new car, the dash had quite a shine on it (from the previous owner's cleaning stuff)

I bought some of these in halfords

great for cleaning the steering wheel too, got quite a bit of grime out, and left it with a nice matt finish

now I can drive it without any glare

I avoid shine sprays, they seem to attract more dust and look a bit tacky to me.

i'd go matt purely for the fact gloss attracts dust and tends to over-reflect so the shiny interior might appear in a fashion in your visible field.
