    Vinyl UV protectant that doesn't show reflection on the windshield

    I am winter prepping the cars and applied 303 Aerospace Protectant (white bottle) to my car's dash. Sprayed liquid on the microfiber towel, applied to the dash and buffed off with another microfiber towel. My wife claims that it shows dash reflection on the windshield and I should not apply that to her car's dash.

    There are a lot of product suggestions in various threads for interior UV protectants but I could not figure out which one gives matte finish so that there is no reflection on the windshield.

    Any suggestions welcome.

    Blackfire Interior Detailer is a great product that offers UV protection with low sheen.

    IMO:
    Since a satin finish on vinyl surfaces is
    awful close to resembling a matte finish
    on the same vinyl surfaces; I’ll suggest
    what I use on my vehicles:

    For something that will last a bit longer, you might give WCTS a try. It leaves a satin finish and you can buff it with a MF towel to dull it up as much as you want.

    Polarized sunglasses eliminate glare off of the dash AND the road. Just a suggestion.

    Just be warned. The first time you put on polarized sun glasses your touch screen on your center console may disappear.

    I looked over and thought mine was busted!

    Sorry Paul (the Lens Master), but Ben Collins aka The Stig disagrees! In his book "How To Drive" as Quote "avoid at all costs polarized sunglasses.I don't know who invented them or why,but they ruin your ability to judge perspective and are totally unsuitable for driving"

    Well we know polarized lenses are great when you are around reflective things like water or snow, but they can obscure many screens in a vehicle, which is why pilots do not wear them.
