Default Dasboard shine

Any one know of a way to take the shine off the dash on a 2001 TA, the reflection on the windshield is crazy. I've tried using Armour all natural finish, I tried just washing it and no Armour all, any advice would be appreciated.

well first of all, I'd recommend stop using Armour All products. They're oil-based and deteriorate a lot of interior plastics (hence why a lot of our top dash panels are brittle and cracked).

Anyway, I'd recommend just using water and a gentle soap. Seemed to do the trick for me.

Thanks, I bought the car about 3 years ago and the former owner had the whole interior Armour Alled . I've got the seats and door panels clean and just wipe the seats with leather wipes, but no matter what I clean the dash with I cant get it dull enough to stop the reflection on the windshield.

Another vote for 303 Aerospace, dries to a nice matte finish. "SPF 40 sunscreen ... for your stuff"
