Do you have any to recommend? Feel it's high time to give my dash and leather a treatsmiley but I'm scared of trying something that could ruin my interior.
Saw this pic of a cracked dashboard somewhere...

Well if you are in Abuja, try Exclusives Stores. They have great car care products. If in Lagos, try the Shoprite at the Palms Shopping Mall, Lekki. Good luck.

Is there a particular brand you can recommend? I'm actually asking for a tried and tested brand so I don't ruin my interior in the bid to take care of it.

Dont apply any product on the dash itself.
Combined with heat = disaster

I'll advive u go for FORMULA 1 products. They're at least trusted.
Always comes in yellow cans/containers

Sorry, not been logged in here today.
Okay, the cleaners contain chemicals which damage the dash when exposed to direct sunlight.
It is usually a slow process which eventually results in cracks, bulging, and other deformities.
This is especially so for the softer dashboards.
By the way this is the major cause of the Infiniti FX35/45 dashboard problem

I've noticed a good number of FX35/FX45 with rough dashboards. For now I'll just stick with no cleaners pending more research. Thanks

I haven't tried anything on my dash before. But for your leather seats, just get a good leather cleaner to make it clean. Afterwards, you can use a leather conditioner to make it supple and prevent cracks for a little while.

Personally, I use Astonish leather cleaner and Glipitone leather conditioner. But there are really good brands out there: Pinnacle, Lexol e.t.c. (they all have cleaner and conditioner). Just check up user reviews.

I don't think kerosene is good o. Looks to me like something that causes cracks. I know many petroleum products cause plastics to become brittle. Could be wrong though

if you can afford it, i suggest you opt for that leather dash. the dash is already cracked no amount of care product will fix it. make sure you check previous samples of the fixer's work.

Astonish or Lexol will do the magic, certainly two of the best leather care products in the market.
