I'm pretty sure it's either glass or tough acrylic but if you're concerned - and maybe it's a best practice -- use a can of air and blast away any debris before polishing it.

So you cannot adjust the brightness of the HUD?

Don't think so but never tried, I haven't yet seen a reason to. Too dim for you? Sunglasses? My sunglasses are not polarized -- Maui Jim's more like driving glasses so I have no problems seeing the HUD or the screens when wearing them.

Actually I don't have my car yet. Hoping for middle August delivery. I was just curious if the brightness was adjustable. It was on all my GM cars with HUDs. And I've already converted to non-polarized glasses.

Really not sure -- maybe along with the dash and ambient lighting? I'm thinkin you might just find it acceptable -- it never seems too dim or bright or distracting, just really convenient and cool, especially when you use the navigation. In any event, I really think you're going to enjoy the car, it's really astonishingly good.

Haha yeah really! Except what may be familiar to you is how quiet the car is -- you can barely hear the engine let alone outside noise.

If you find some of my other posts I have pics of what I think are decent settings for the sound system, which out of the box to me sounded a little harsh and unnatural, with too much processing like 3D and surround, which can get tricky when you want a little more midrange and base without an equalizer but still want to enjoy the effects of 19 speakers.

Set that thing right and it can be amazing too.

I will check out and try your settings suggestions. I'm very interested in making the stereo as good as it can be for sure. I once had an Acura with what was the premiere stereo system. Acura has slipped is now way behind, and I'm looking forward to the quiet car with the phenomenal stereo and performance to boot!

You can adjust the brightness.

Unfortunately cleaning didn't make a difference. Going to take it to the dealership and see what they say.
