you can probably apply the matte finish armor all on top of it to get rid of the shiny finish, while still protecting your dash...

Never use armor-all, that interior **** is crap. I used it, and just had to wait a couple of weeks for it to wear down. Best thing for your dash is a damp cloth.

once you use armor=all or any other shiny stuff, you will never be able to get your dash back to the fresh, dry, dark grey color. Man I wish I could, but I've tried everything.

PS21 makes a gel for interior parts that doesn't leave shiny finish and don't think up the car.

even non-diluted simple green wouldn't hurt anything at all. Simple Green is amazing.

try using some dawn/water in a spray bottle. not too much soap and it will strip all that chit off the dash. after that just use a damp rag like said above.

I don't like the shiny look either. I have never used any armor all products or any protectants for the interior. I do clean it on a regular basis and while simple green works good the best thing that I have found is Meguiars Tough Surface Cleaner. It won't harm the dash and will take out even the leftover simple green from previous cleaning. It comes in a purple spray bottle. Spray it on in the shade so that it doesn't dry quickly, let it sit for a couple min and then wipe everything off with a damp cloth. Enjoy!
