Well, first, fill out your location in your profile so we know where you are from.

Next, I'd tint the SHIT out of your tib. Tint will reduce a lot of the sun's harmful effects, and usually comes with a lifetime warranty.

Then, use some good protectant for your interior, something that protects against UV. There are plenty of vinyl/leather/plastic protectants that do this.

lastly, if you are completely gay, you can put a dash mat on there.

LOL

I like black magic's protectant:

It shines beautifully and does a pretty good job protecting it
+1 on the tint though, just don't do your windshield nana.gif

Ditto on the tint, and yeah, Black Magic is some good stuff, the tire wet stuff by them is pretty good too

I use the Meguairs (sp?) NXT Interior Protectant once a year. THATS IT. I usually just wipe it down with a damp chamois to get all the dust off, and if it looks like it needs another wipe down with the protectant, then I will. But I hate having that glare off the dash, and good luck trying to stick anything to it. Not that you should really stick anything to it, but I have a nifty little air freshener dispenser, everyone thinks its a radar detector or something. Anyway, it wouldn't have stuck to the dash if I had of used the protectant.
