is the dash leather?

Alright, I've tried searching for my answer but I can't find it. I have an 04 E500 and I just bought some Lexol leather cleaner/conditioner. Do I apply this stuff on the dash and the door as well or is that not real leather? I know this seems dumb but I don't know...I've never had a leather interior before.

Thanks,

Bugs

Dash IS NOT leather, but you can use the Lexol on it, Its gentle enough. Never put anything on the dash that will leave a "sheen". You will see the dash reflected in the windshield glass like it was a mirror, which will obscure your vision of the road.

The door panels on an E500 are also leather, I think, although I haven't quite gotten around to putting leather conditioner on them yet. Probably should.

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant on the dash and anywhere that has vinyl! Great stuff and doesn't leave a glossy shine.
