    Since joining Autopia, I`ve moved on from shiny dashes but most high shine dressings should suit your needs.

    Most don`t do shiny dashes, but a product I find that works well (about a month or so of durability) and leaves a high level sheen is Mother`s Protectant. You can grab at any local auto store/Wal-Mart as well.

    You don`t really want a shiny dash as the glare will annoy you when driving. For a nice satin, like new finish AND excellent UV protection, 303 Aerospace Protectant.

    Meg Qik Interior Detailer also looks great (not shiny) but smells vinegary.

    Haven`t cracked open my gallon of 303 Protectant yet so I can`t vouch for it but I`m sure its as good if not better than Meg`s (just with a higher price).

    Second. Been using 303 when I found out about Autopia years ago, great product. Had to reregister but that`s another story...

    Mothers does leave a little more shine than many protectants but can be controlled somewhat by how you apply it (directly or to applicator) and buffing (wipe off dry or wet towel). It is perfect for faded plastics where more restorative properties are needed.

    I liked it for the most part, only thing is that it left a slightly "oily" feel on my wife`s Pilot dashboard. I applied via applicator--maybe I need to buff more?

    If you still want something with shine you can look into Meguiar`s Supreme Shine protectant.

    High shine combined with lots of sun makes for a dangerous condition. Einzett Cockpit Premium gives a perfect satin finish/protection that recreates that factory new look. Sort of a satin plus look.
