Filters for Bright Object viewing.

I've just recently bought a 150 reflector and while its great on most objects, when looking at Jupiter the planet is so bright I can't pick out as much detail as I used with my old 60mm. I have some coloured filters, Blue, Green, Red, Orange and 15/30% moon filters, but none of them seems to make a lot of difference. Can anyone suggest a filter which would be suitable for bright planet viewing.
