Dashboard Reflection on windshield
#32
Most of your reflection is due to the windshield being dirty.
I would start off by cleaning it squeaky clean first.
Also I wouldn't use the glossy leather conditioner.
You'll want one that protects and gives a matte finish, as the reflection will cause the windshield to reflect terribly.
Also, the oily stuff that you use like meguire's and etc, when heated, cause the oils to dissipate in the air, catching onto the windshield, causing that reflection.
FWIW though, I use 50% tint on my vehicle. I can see perfectly clear outside. You actually won't even notice it is there to be honest.

Section 375 (12-a) of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law does not allow a windshield or front side windows that are dark. The windshield and front side windows cannot block more than 30% of the light. Seventy percent or more of the light from the outside must pass through the window.

Have had my '07 GS350 since OCT 2012. Pretty much adjusted to it.
However, on bright sunny days in the winter (Atlanta), at certain sun angles the textured black dashboard reflection on the windshield is very distracting and borderline hazardous.
Anybody dealt with this with methods other than squinting?
Is there anything besides a matte finished fabric dash cover?
Appreciate the advice.

I think it's mostly the semi-glossy nature of our dashboard. I don't remember any of my cars having a semi-glossy finish. They all have a matte or satin finish. The only other car I did encounter the reflection is in my 2004 Corolla but I threw a bunch of the Mequires NXT extreme dash gloss. Huge mistake. Talk about reflection. It was worse than the GS. So I wiped it off and put a matte gloss.
