Does it make your dash shiny?
No !!! Leaves a matt like finish . Will gloss for a minute or two when you apply it, but then goes to a matt finish.
Like Dave, it's pretty much all I use on the Ranger, wife's Subi, travel trailer (lots of rubber and vinyl on it ). Interior, exterior, rubber/vinyl/plastic...even the little bit of real leather on my seats...all get 303.

Like Steve said it leaves a satin/matte finish. If you feel it's to shiny just buff it out with a clean microfiber towel. What's nice is it doesn't leave everything all slick and greasy feeling like Armor-All does and it last a lot longer. Here with our high heat and UV I'll apply it every 3-4 months but in most cases twice a year should be fine. Plus I buy it by the gallon jug and a little goes a long way so I need to use it up. ?

I hate shiny dashes.

I've tried the 303 aerospace and the 303 interior protectant....

Neither of them are Matte.

But they aren't armor all either...

Yeah, I don't want shiny, but some kind of protectant would be nice. I put 155k on my '12 Focus and I never put anytihng on the dash. I had it detailed several times at the dealer and I don't know if they put anything on it or not, but it wasn't shiny. The dash still looked great when I sold it.

I bought a bottle of spray I thought was going to be a Matte spray, was super excited.... Turns out it was for those G wagons and the like with Matte interiors... I was very sad...

I don't put anything on my dash anymore.

The gf's dash get a heavy wipe down of 303 interior protectant and after a few minutes I buff it away to dull it down... It's not perfect, but it does help...

Microfiber towels, UV protection, aerospace....one of those super-products....But I thought this was a truck forum. ;)
