2013 Mustang GT

I am trying to determine what friggin material the dash is made out of.

It feels/looks like it might be a cheap leather -- but I am really assuming it's not even leather at all. Can anyone tell me what material it truly is? What cleaner/protector does everyone use on it?

Thanks!

I'm not sure what material it is but I just use a mini California car duster. Apparently swiffers work ok too.

What about leather seats? Anyone have a good recommendation for a product that will prevent seats from cracking/drying out?

Leather seating areas (not a lot in our cars) use zymol Zymol Distribution of Canada (ZDOCN) · Upholstery Cleaners and Conditioners
The rest of the interior Turtle Ice interior stuff. I find all of the Turtle Ice products to be good easy on easy off.

I've been using auto glym leather cleaner and then once it dries I will do autoglym leather protectant it really soaks in a makes the leather just shine,seems to last longer than other leather products I've used over the years,true it's a little more expensive but it appears to be worth it

I don't think it matters for the leather, as long as you're using something. Meguire's has some good stuff, just like waxes, the choices are endless and there's no right answer.

Adam's Total Interior Detailer, I used it on mine, goes right back the factory matte finish.
Just the way I like it, none of the crappy shiny, greasy, oily, gloss junk.

For leather, cleaning - Adam's Total Interior Detailer
For leather, conditioning and upkeep - Zaino Leather In A Bottle

Like everyone said, theres SO MANY options out there.
