Yep I've been looking at those especially the blueish tint that looks OE, couple of things.... there still seems to be a lot of questions over legality over the aftermarket tints even though some look the same as factory fit, secondly as I mentioned I need to stick two very sticky permits to my screen and I've no idea if this will work long term on a film applied to the rear of the screen.

Might just resort to a large microfibre cloth draped over the centre console when it gets very hot.

Side note the OEM is a slight red hue on the climate screens.

How often would you apply the KC Top Star to the plastics? Typically with plastic uv protectants they should be applied one a month to once every three months.

Maybe a very quick wipe over with a MF that only has had the Top Star on, thing is it has only affected these certain points... all other areas like the dash down to the screen which gets full-on sun are fine... this is my daily so the wipe down is just to remove dust... the other high use touch point is the passenger door handle + sun visor, the wife always leaves hand-cream marks on it  :sad:

My alternative product would be a very diluted Pol Star but that has no protection.

Go & speak to a window tinting company, they do clear UV blocking/protective material, its used a lot on shop windows to protect their displays from fading in the sunlight
