Is there any product for vinyl dash that leaves a matte finish?

I agree with everyone in that Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer leaves 0 shine. What I use is a 1:1 mixture of 303 and Meguiar's #40. I get the UV protection from 303 and the smell of #40. I usually buff it a little to knock the shine down a notch or so but I really like the looks of it.
 
Adam's VRT isn't very shiny either. (It's a cream/gel sort of product, though, not a spray.)

Meg's interior QD is nice, nice scent, but from what I've read, very little protection added.
 
What color is your dash? When I had a brown dash I couldn't get 303 to look good. Was a bit shiny and looked kinda fake... hard to describe really but I didnt like the look. One of the Meguiar's products looked best, I think it was the Natural Shine in the maroon bottle, or maybe #40. But now with my new car with a dark gray/blue dash, 303 gives me the best look with no shine. So maybe different products will be better for different interiors, just like paint. Try a few and see what you like best.
 
I just did mine...



Einszett interior cleaner...



did 1/4 of the dash at a time...



sprayed on dash and used a mf to scrub it down...then applied again and worked with a nylon brush...wipe off excess with clean rag...repeated until the rag came off clean...took 2 applications...



looks perfect, clean, no shine, darker...like new



car is a 2001 BMW M3...the material is a soft textured vinyl...the texture was restored a bit also...



I had been using vinylex, once a year, then just a damp mf when dusty...



got possessed and did all the interior vinyl :)
 
I like Meg's natural shine look for the natural look. I like the DG leather and Vinyl protectant A LOT as well. I had a tester sample and tried it on a customers car. Don't remember the number but when I need to get some more int protectant I think that the DG is going to be my choice.
 
Make sure you use a water based product not a solvent based dressing. You can dillute it down to whatever consistency you want.
