Tired of dash reflection on windshield...
I am really sick-and-tired of the super annoying reflection of my C6 dash onto the inside of the windshield. I cannot believe that in this age of technology in materials and general engineering progress, we all just drive around like a bunch of dufasses putting up with this horrible visual annoyance.
Mine has never been polished with shine products or anything, yet it still reflects like a mirror when the sun hits it just right.
Surley there is a flattening rub or something that can be applied to the dash plastic to minimize this. Maybe an acid rub wash or something that will etch it or something. Or a formed thin skin of felt or matte finish that can be applied with an adhesive or something.
Lets fix this! Come one folks... throw out some ideas.

I never had an issue with a reflection until I used a product other than soap and water on the dash.
Haven't you only had the car for a year? Are you sure nothing has been used on it? What have you used to clean it?

Never was a problem for me on any of the 5 C6 coupes I had. Something unexpected is causing that. Hope you find it.

You could always put a dashmat on it...

Polarized sunglasses handled it for me. Never thought is a design flaw. My other cars do the same.
$50.00 can fix your problem.

I've gotten use to it. I've had my car for a little over a year, and don't notice it at all anymore.

I can't help but almost laugh at this. I live in Vegas, where there is sun 340 out of 365 days, and have NEVER noticed my dash reflection in an annoying manner. OP must have a reflective covering of some sort he is not aware of. Maybe too much armor-all? Maybe a full-tint windshield? IDK

Meow-ser! That's one natty looking *****!
When I was a kid, aside from building model cars, I also did animals. I had a more-or-less full-size panther head plastic model on a wall mount and I painted it black. I wish I still had it, but my mom threw it out along with all my other models after I left home.
