Make the Shiney Dash Stop !!! Especially driving into the sun, you get a nice reflection of the dash top on the windshield. Is there anything to put on the top of the dash to make it not so shiney?
Thanks,
Rob

You could wear sunglasses....
Seriously, though it sounds like the inside of your windshield just needs to be cleaned. It's probably dirtier than you think. When it gets a nice layer of crud on it, it starts reflecting more.

I wear Polarized sunglasses (not reagular cheap sunglases). They really cut the glare everywhere! Glare off the road, water, dash, windshield... are all minimized. I wear glasses normally so when I bought perscription sunglasses, I poped the extra dough for Polarized lenses. They are great.

Just remove your windshield...that's what I did 
Okay, maybe I just used 303 and cleaned the inside of my windshield...whichever way you decide I'm sure it will work.

Clean the shiny armor all or whatever you have off the dash and use Pledge or another good furniture polish. I wouldn't use the lemon scent if I was you - unless you like the smell. Any shiny dressing will cause damage in the long run. This comes straight from the guys at Just Dashes whom restore all the old muscle car dashes. The Pledge gives it that new car look as well - not the 15 coats of shine that most people have. The anti-static stuff is good at repelling dust as well. Sounds corny, but try it and you'll be surprised how nice it looks. Works great on all the interior plastic as well.

Use 1Z Vinyl/Rubber care. Then use the Cockpit premium. It will be MATTE. NO shine at all, but will still be protected.

I got a dash mat, unfortunately it was made of a reflective material. So I just painted it flat black. Also since the sun will never hit your dash you don't have to worry about it cracking or anything.
