Scmutz On Dashboard Display

Have you noticed that the dashboard display is really reflected; and that the projection window is visible if you stand outside the car by the driver's door and look down at the dashboard?

Perhaps if you clean that window, then the display will look OK again.

 

You can remove the lens to clean it, but I don't recommend doing so.

CAUTION: The MFD is dim (and a bit cloudy) when COLD (as is the case the last few days here). Don't let that "issue" send you down the wrong path.

 

Scmutz is spelled "Schmutz".

 

Actually I think its SMUDGE. LOL

 

Actually Scmutz is spelled Scmutz. Schmutz is spelled Schmutz.

 

I noticed this on the used Prius I just bought about a week ago. Would cleaning these lenses and windows with one of those wipes they have for flat screen TVs be a good solution?

 

Actually, went ahead and tried LCD display wipes (which I got from some sale bin at my local Fry's Electornics a little while ago), and seemed to work nicely.

 

Schmutz (also shmuts, (shmŭtz or shmootz) is a [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yiddish"]Yiddish[/ame] word of direct [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany"]German[/ame] derivation. It can be a noun, a verb, or an adjective.
As in the original German, its use in Yiddish as a noun can designate a range of types of unpleasant substances from any kind of soil such as mud or dust to thick or ground-in dirt such as soot or grass stains. More strongly, and less accurately, it's used to indicate a particularly foul or repulsive matter such as animal waste, or poop, or the fuzzy stuff found growing in the jar way at the back of the fridge. A Jewish comic once raised schmutz to the exalted status of “dirt that moves.”
