detailing the dash

Hey everyone, got a quick question. I was getting ready to detail the dash of my r56 but have no idea if its leather or vinyl.

I was going to use the Prima Nero product on it, should that be fine or if its leather does it need some leather care product?

Thanks
dave

Yes its Vinyl, IMO the best UV protectant and detailer you can use is Aerospace 303. Used by the boating people for Vinyl, rubber,leather and all plastics, inside and outside, great stuff.

I'm using Prima Nero. Can't speak to the long term, but it sure does make it beautiful.

BTW. This question is probably best addressed in the Detailing 101 forum.

How is 303 used? Just rub on / off?

The dash does get dusty quick!
