C300/350 Sport -- what's the dash made of?
So that's the question, if you have the MB TEX interior, is the dash leather, vinyl, what?!?....what do you use to clean it/treat it?

On dash, I use just warm water and a soft cloth... haven't ever been into using chemicals inside the car for treating things/cleaning - but there's always a first time for everything. Waiting to see what everyone else suggests.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the dash, regardless of leather of MB Tex is a soft touch plastic. As are the doors (except for the armrests and "insert" areas which feel like MBText over plastic)...

I am not too big on Armor All -- I used to use their products until it cracked my dash on my first car (A4)....now I do not mind spending some extra cash on better stuff.

a light solution of Murphy's Oil Soap and warm water with a microfiber cloth always works well for me. It's safe on all surfaces without harsh chemicals.

Yeah this might be true....I have used Barkeepers Friend on chrome to remove rust and other spots to shine it up, espc. the tail pipes.
