I want to clean the black part of the dash on my ecru interior. Is that leather or nice looking vinyl? Should I use leather cleaner? Armor all? Please tell me what works for y'all cause my dash is getting dusty and dirty. thanks

those are just vinyl. i think the upcoming ls600hl is the first lexus with leeather dash only the area around your radio control are leather like your seats

i usually just use damp cloths to wipe it. there are some vinyl treatment, but to me unless you put your car under the sun for a long long time, you should be relatively ok. just my opinion

for sure i do NOT put on armor all. last thing i need is everything shiny like crazy and slippery like no tomorrow. i basically hate those stuff myself. i don't like my dash to be so greasy and shiny

I would suggest using 303 Aerospace Protectant. It does not contain silicone, leaves the finish clean and satin like, no residue and no gloss. It protects vinyl with UV protectors. I have the RX330 Thundercloud which has the gray leather interior with black dash and upper door sections. I use the 303 on the tires, the dash and the black trim of the door. Does not feel slippery like silcone products and gives a nice matte or satin finish without gloss. Does not attact dust either.

Quik Interior Detailer from Meguiar's cleans well and leaves a nice natural matte finish with a bit of UV protection.

this 303 stuff looks pretty good, and yea Rominl, the heat in texas and all the sun, man I think i should definitely put in the time to get a good conditioner/cleaner.

Dakota, can you suggest a site to purchase? I googled and there are quite a few. Thanks for the post!

Check your local Ace hardware store ...automotive section.

Try doing a Google on "303 Products". You should get the home of 303 products (I believe the club does not allow me to give you business sites by name). I had found their site after reading about their products in an automotive care site. You can order from them directly or they also have a link giving locations that sell their products. I did stop at one of their listed sellers (an Ace Hardware in Fargo, ND). They didn't have any of the 303 Protectant but a couple of their other products so I just ordered it on the net from their site. Had it in about week. In fact this reminds me, I'm just about out and better order more.
