With the advent of longer sunlight days, comments on reflection into the windshield of the upper instrument panel may be received. The condition of instrument panel reflection into the windshield in direct sunlight may be aggravated by dealers and owners applying a wax or silicone base material to the pad surface. The higher gloss of such application results in a "veiling reflection" in the windshield. Advise customers and the new car make ready area that materials containing wax or silicone should not be used to clean the instrument panel pad due to possible long term effects on durability. A warm water and mild soap solution such as saddle soap, or an equivalent should be used whenever the instrument panel pad needs cleaning.
