I've been there man...too many times. I live in South Florida too, and have a car with a black dash. Tint helps overall, but not much on the dash, those mirrored sun shades help, but are a pain.
I've experienced something similar with an all-black steel 1911, but I'm a DAILY victim of being burned with the seat belts and my all-metal shift knob. It's scary.
You guys up in North in the cold don't know how good you have it.
Nevermind!
