Default Dash cover / Mat?

Ok, I know the thought of dash mats/covers induces shudders from many, however my car was sadly armoralled prior to my purchase, and it creates so much glare on the windshield to my morning drive in to work that it's quite the nusiance.

A. Anyone know how to safely remove the glossy look ?
B. Does your stock dash glare on your own windshield any/much?
C. Anyone have an aftermarket dash cover to recommend? Suede preferrably

Thoughts/other options appreciated.

You can clean off the armor all. No need to ruin the interior with a da sh mat. You can get a microfiber towel with warm water and wipe it off. If still glossy, wipe down with diluted all purpose cleaner. Remember to apply a dash protectant after. Such as 303 aerospace protectant.

Meguiars interior cleaner.
This product is anything but greasy, which is exactly what you need, it actually evaporates pretty quickly. You'd be hard pressed to tell there was any "protection" on the surface, it leaves the surface looking new - just as described.

$8 bucks, you can't go wrong.

Thanks all for the replies! I've never used interior cleaners (just using a dry microfiber in the past- but I've never had this nice a car either. So to my other question- do any of you have any sort of winshield glare at all?
