Dash protection

Looking to cover my dash from the sun and don't like the windshield shades. So what is out there besides coverking? Really want a fitted mat but a lot of them look cheap. Thanks

Living in Florida, all of my vehicles get there Window Tinted, including the Windshields. The Tint for the Windshield doesn't make the Windshield darker, it eliminates UV rays and reflects the heat, it's a wonderful thing ..

Dash mats are cheap looking. Best bet is 3m clear on the windshield or start using 303 protectant on the dash.

Lumar Air Blue 80 tint. No color to it so you won't get stopped, blocks 80% of the UV rays that eat up the dash and drops the temp in the truck. Get someone that knows what they are doing such as tint world or another Lumar shop and you won't even know it is there.

Use 303 on the dash...non greasy shine and protects from UV rays quite well.

I have been using 303. I just sold my 02 f350 and took the dashmat off before selling, looked like new. Like I said they look cheap but they work. Just looking to see if anyone has tried different dash mats and how they looked.
