And did I mention that the spot reading lights near the rearview miror were adjustable and very focused on the old car - not so on the facelift, I actually keep a Maglite in the glove compartment in case I need to read a map?

Ah, what you need is SatNav with the color screen upgrade.  

Do you use anything to clean the dash, silicones etc.? This might be causing it to wear more rapidly. I only use a damp cloth, no fancy sprays etc. and mine are still like new.

No silicone spray in any car of mine! I clean it with a soft dry dust cloth, sometimes I use a small brush to shift more stubborn dust when it accumulates in unreachable corners.

I don't use any sprays, water, cloths or anything. In fact that might be why it is looking so dusty.

A very weak solution of warm water and fairy liquid (other types of washing up liquid are avalible) does the trick for me on all interior surfaces.  Can't stand the way silicon spray makes the top of the dash all shiny and glary in the sunlight.

Well my basic old GLS is pretty good really.  Its done 57k but is seven years old.  The worst bits are a few scratches around the interior door handles at the front and a some scuffed areas on the plastic bit below the hand break.

What is really annoying me at the moment (and its doesn’t take much) is behind the instrument panel for the heating controls / climate control, there seems to be a lot of dust (may even be polish spray) so everything appears a little out of focus.  I did try to prise it out but gave up before I broke something.

By the way, I have a very annoying rattle (as I said it doesn’t take much) on the passenger side front seat.  The metal wavy thing underneath is rattling on the frame when there is no one sat in it.  I have to take Mrs MikeD everywhere to stop it rattling.

Come on guys!! what's going on??  A thread with the subject "Rubbery Omega" and not a single "Thankyou very Much" in a comical oriental accent!

I'm dissapointed!!

We
The area around the leccy windows controls on the door is badly scratched as well.
My old run-of-the-mill non-climate pre-facelift Omega had better interior!

So is mine.....but it was like it when i bought the omega......i dont think its gettting worse.....so i assume the previous owner had a ring/s on his finger and thats whats caused it.....The rest of the interior is fine
