RE: what kind of material is on the dashboard ?

depends which car you have - if its a pure then the dash and door cards are a synthetic and the arm rests are leather. If its a Prestige its all leather and if its a dynamic I think its a mix like the pure.

I use Gtechniq W2 which is a great all purpose cleaner.

I didn't think you can get Alcantara on a US spec but I could be wrong?

My dealer told me basically as WB has described. The suede is artificial (thank god). My Dynamic is a combo of leather and recycled materials. That is, of course, part of the selling point on the car: it uses a lot of recycled materials. I use a microfiber cloth to dust off the inside and it's great for cleaning the computer screen.

If you have a Dynamic Plus then it is Oxford leather to match the seat leather so I use the same Gliptone leather cleaner and polish as I use on the seat leather

Was told on the pure the dash was made from recycled plastic bottles. Either that or it was recycled milk bottle crates(can't remember). Don't know whether that's true, just what the dealer told me.

Just wipe it with a slightly damp leather, there is no need for anything else unless of course you actually make it dirty.
