Is Dash Material Vinyl or Leather?

Now that my car is a week old, I'm starting to plan for keeping it looking sharp. In looking over the interior to see what I would need to use to clean it, I wondered about the dash material. I'm talking about the largest part of the dash & the tops of the dor panels.

It looks a lot like leather, but I'm thinking that it is actually vinyl. Can anyone confirm?

4 wheels
The sides may be Leather, while the pieces on the dash might be MB-Tex (leatherette, but very high quality)

To tell you the truth, I have no idea what material it is.

As for maintenance, I tend to use Meguiar's Quick Detailer spray. Gets rid of fingerprints and things of that nature easily and does the job all around.

For the dash, a damp microfiber towel does the trick, it doesn't really get dirty, but dusty. I use distilled water.

It's definitely a "plastic cow" unless you've spent up big on Designo interior, and then everything you look at is leather, or so the say.
