The dash isn't leather, more like molded textured rubber plastic or something like that. I use 409 spray on it and used the Meguiar wipe on the leather surfaces. I won't ever use Amor All since it has amonia(?) that, after time, will cause the dash and all other plastics to harden and crack.

VinalX and 303 are probably the most commonly used by detailing professionals and car enthusiasts.
STAY AWAY FROM ARMOR ALL..... besides the fact that prolonged usage dries out your dash and causes cracking, armor all is shiney as heck, 303 and VinalX are matte when they dry. Armor also turns black plastic grey after 2 - 3 weeks, and the others last a heck of a lot longer, and typically only need dusting for months, re-applicatioin quarterly.
