Ash Interior Glare
Anyone with Ash Leather interior have a problem with glare from dash reflecting into the windshield? If so, how big a problem do you feel it is? Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Stop using so much Armor All 
.
It's never been a big problem for me, especially since I've never used any products to make it shinier. Sometimes the glare off the wood trim around the a/c controls can be a bit annoying too- dunno if you've noticed that.

I use the following two products pretty much exclusively:
For the glass inside and out as well as mirrors..
Stoner's Invisible Glass
I picked this up by accident one day. Never looked back. It really IS good enough that you might think your window is open. It's NOT amonia based so it will not damage tinted windows.
For plastic/vinyl/rubber parts including the dash:
303 Aerospace Protectant
The nice thing about 303 is that it leaves a NON-Glossy "Factory Clean" look to the dash. Doesn't glare.
I'd also reccomend a simple trick to protect your headlights from road gravel off of trucks. Stumbled across this back when I had my BMW convertible. Still a great idea.

Well, I never really noticed it until you just mentioned it! Thanks alot!
Actually it's not bad but it is noticeable under certain lighting conditions. It certainly wouldn't have stopped me from getting the ash interior. I think the glare off the black maple trim is much more annoying.
