Ok, I'm not really after steamy windows..I will leave that to Ms. Turner!
I would appreciate some help in achieving a more matt and dusty look to my sedans windows. The OOB windows look like, well too plastic like!
Cheers,
Shay

Clear matt lacquer might work.

Dusting it with sandcolour and an airbrush, slightly. Use pastel chalks applied with a soft brush, works too!

Whatever you use through an airbrush I would thin it pretty well and build it up slowly, even clear flat.

Pastel powders and mineral spirits, white spirits, will soak the dust into the low spots if that's the effect you need.

One more hint: If you are going with "blind" windows, you can work over the clear part with 1000er Wet and dry Sandpaper.
