Default Matt dash - how?

Over time the dash and door trim loses it's matt finish and takes on a dreadful dull shine. Is there any product or a method, of returning the plastic to an acceptable matt finish? I guess it would be something that would etch the surface in some way?
I hate shiny dashboards!

Tried that some while ago and finished up removing it with meths., It just increased the shine! I'll only use it on the tyres, now.

Have you used anything else on it? It leaves mine with a lovely finish.
