Dash is dull - what product do you use?

Used an interior cleaner on my dash ('79 911), which has left it dull in appearance. What do you use to treat your dash?

Supposed to be dull. No windshield reflections. Just keep it clean.

Word of warning, it will cause a reflection in the windshield. It's great stuff and definitely puts a nice shine on things. I use it on all the plastic parts on the exterior as well.

303 usually, but vinylex is just as good.

For what it's worth:

Subaru has been recalling their 05-09 Legacy models for the past few years due to dashboards that are chemically breaking down and the result is a gooey, sticky, shiny dash that reflects light into the windshield. Happens most frequently in hot and humid environments. The reflection into the windshield was deemed a safety issue, hence the recall. Supposedly they have tooled up to make a better dashboard, I've been on the wait list for more than 6 months. I suspect most didn't subscribe to the owners manual that states to clean the dash with only warm water, and whatever product they have been using, armor all or whatever, enhanced the chemical breakdown.
