Arrow Cleaning and treating leather dashboard

I have a 2017 Mercedes SL. The dashboard is stitched leather. I wanted to know if this should be cleaned with a cleaning product and treated with a conditioner? I currently clean my seats with the Mercedes leather foam cleaner. Looking for guidance on how to maintain the interior leather.

Also, avoid putting the dashboard in direct sunlight whenever, possible AND make sure you do not let interior temps get above ambient!!! When parking the car, always "crack" at least one window for ventilation (or preferably ALL windows, ideally) and this will go ALL the way in saving your leather (and wood trim for that matter). Sun and Heat are the killers of interiors, especially leather ones!!

Yes, it is a PITA over time to have to always remember to do this, but I guarantee that your interior will stay looking new for MUCH longer, if not indefinitely!
