Why do you want it shiney though? A nice oe satin sheen looks better and easier to keep dust free.

The only problem with a shiny dash is the reflections on a sunny day. You can get Armoral Matt spray. Try something like Poorboys Natural Look dressing.

I'm just the opposite here - I think an overly glossy dash looks cheap, it reflects badly in the windscreen and attracts dust.

A nice satin finish makes it look more 'factory new' rather than like it's just been sprayed with way too much silicone spray.

Each to their own, of course, and everyone's taste is different - there's no 'right' and 'wrong' here
