My dipstick has a yellow plastic top with a lenght of metal to measure the level. It's not all plastic.
Also, it's awful trying to read the level. I too let it sit overnight , then I can see where it is.

Will sandpaper be as good?

since stopping the use of SHELL 5w-30 synthetic to SHELL conventional 5w-30 the oil adheres to both metal dipsticks for a better reading .
