like i said the paint or whatever it is, is almost the same color and in the camera u cant really see it but the top layer isnt shinny and the bottom layer is so its annoying when the sun hits it.

HHR Dash Peeling
I kind of think that the manufacturer puts a Thin Coat of Paint over the Dash as to Help Blend In the Passenger Side Air Bag 
? Maybe yours had the Air Bag Deploid at one time and this is a symptom of a Repair Job

which then also gave it a Shine
! When I installed a Black Leather SS Wheel I thought maybe the Ebony Interior Color might have been Charcol or Dark Grey ! Applying a small amount of Armoral to all of the Plastic pieces turned the plastic the desired Black color

It does not look like "peeling" to me. It appears as though the grainy surface texture is "de-laminating" from the base structure over the gauge hood. Too much intense ultraviolet exposure maybe.....you gotta watch more than your skin at those latitudes...
just a guess.

yea the service manager said that armorall will cause GM dashes to peel and if it peels its because you used armorall and is not covered by warranty. its peeling ontop on the instrament cluster and now on the upper glove box(top of the dash) and to the left of it. what i dont get is that the dash is already black and it has a black paint over it(stock or so the service manager said) the dealership is Grand Prize Chevy in miami florida
