The last couple of days with the amazing sun, I have really been having an issue with the dash reflection hitting the windscreen. This has been making it really hard to see when the sun is low enough to be coming through the windscreen of just above it.
Has anyone else had this and any tips on reducing it?

I found polarising sunglasses made all the difference, for that and other reflections.

Unfortunately I am too blind for polarising lenses, the frames wouldn't take them

Its an 89, but you haven't stated what finish you currently have. ( i.e. Piano Black, Aluminium, etc) That may help.

My bad, was still hungover this morning.... Is basic see spec with aluminium trim. That part is fine, it's the black plastic on top of the dash, right on top of the instrument panel, which is the real pain.
Thought it was just dust on the inside at first so been through numerous more and more 'lint free' microfiber cloths till I came to realise it was most likely the dash

Get some matte finish rubber/vinyl cleaner.
