Lexol on the dash?

I have Lexol cleaner and Lexol leather conditioner for my car seats, but can I use these same items on the dash in my car? It's a 93 Maxima with a black interior that's been in Phoenix for most of its life and it hasn't cracked yet. I just want to make sure I'm not going to strip oils or do anything else that will cause it to get damaged.
 
A leather conditioner is not ment to be used on plastic surfaces like dashes. The oils in the conditioner will not be able to soak in to the material and you will have an oily mess on your hands.
 
Lexol makes Vinylex which is good on vinyl and plastic. I bet where ever you got the lexol stuff they could get some for you.

As a former owner of a '94 Maxima, I have used the following products on my dash with no ill effects:

Meguiar's #40 Dash cleaner and conditioner
Lexol Vinylex

Out of the 2, I like using the Lexol Vinylex because it does not leave a greasy feel to it and it doesn't have that high shine associated with many products.

But before I conditioned the vinyl, I cleaned it with 50/50 diluted HI. I learned the hard way not to use full strength HI on the switches of my Max because it will remove the lettering on them. :eek:
