Mine hides it pretty well. The only thing that happens is the reflection goes away when it gets pretty dirty. Hope these pics help a little.

This pic is about 4 weeks with out a bath. The sun is going down a little so probably doesnt help


These pics are after i just rinsed off the mud about two weeks earlier so its still pretty dirty.
