What is dash material in 2013 GS 350?
New 2013 GS 350 owner here with luxury package that included flaxen semi-aniline leather, wood/leather steering etc. Just wondering what the dash material is. Not sure if it is leather or synthetic. Trying to determine best maintenance for interior materials.

It looks like leather but does not really feel like leather, it is rougher then the seats, more grain. It could be leather but I would not be surprised if it is not leather and just some sort of a imitation. I just wipe it down with whoolite water mixture and put Aerospace 303 on it.

Thanks. Yeah, the dash material is kind of spongy like foam that doesn't give the impression of leather or at least not genuine leather, maybe bonded leather.
I've been using 303 Aerospace for some time in other cars, mostly on vinyl & plastic, and was wondering if that was good to use so I will probably use it. Some say 303 Aerospace would be ok for finished leather like semi-aniline for UV protection. Anyone use it for that?

Its fine for leather, the leather has a plastic top coat.

I have an 08' LS460L and the dashboard is VERY sticky. Been using 303 for years and now it does not help. I actually turns "ashy" white on the side of the console too. I have accidently hit the edge of the dash lip behind the steering wheel with my finger and took a piece of the dash with my fingernail.TWICE. It is like a sticky piece of clay or something. I wonder if Lexus will honor the recall this late.
