What is dash made of?

It feels softer than the plastic normally used for trim, but harder than leather, although has a matte finish. Any ideas on what to clean it with?

I used a microfiber cloth on my last Freelander and it marked the surface.

I did this on my first clean and had to live with the results for three years.

Rookie mistake - use soft cloths only.!

I did the same Guinea within a few weeks of taking delivery of my new FL2 back in 2010. It caused a white mark/stain so I rang the dealer to complain that the mark had always been there and wouldn't come off. Low and behold, they changed the dash top under warranty.

I thought microfibre cloths were soft ! I've just vacuumed mine with a brush attachment and can't see anything to worry about !

Technically it was their fault anyway. There was a small white mark on the dashboard top which I tried to remove with said cloth but it made it much worse. If it wasn't for the iffy mark, I wouldn't have been able to make it worse so LR can have the blame Laughing LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

Good legal point made by an obviously rising skilled advocate!

I just give mine a wipe with a microfibre cloth that is just damp from a very very weak soap solution
