Default Interior material in a Lariat

Hello all! I had a quick question that you guys could answer for me:

What's the material in the interior of a Lariat?

Obviously the seats, console cover and steering wheel are leather. But what about the dash and the door armrests? Are those vinyl? I just want to make sure I buy the right type of cleaner before I go town on cleaning my interior.

These are just educated guesses on my part. Seats are part leather part vinyl, steering wheel is leather. The console cover, door arm rests, and dash are vinyl, textured but still plastic.

I use a damp soft microfiber cloth on all but the seats and steering wheel, they get maguiers leather condition/cleaner.

Front seats are leather, rear seats are only leather in the center portion of the two side seats. Not the middle seat. Ask me how I know.....

I'm sure the dash and the arm rests are vinyl.

You can get cleaner that's safe for vinyl and leather. I use mothers leather wash it works great.

Default Dash, Interior Door Trin, console, ETC

I’ve read several of the questions and answers here and I would just like for someone that Really knows to Please tell me What the Dash, Arm rests, Console, ETC IS made of?

I looked up Vinyl & Plastic, neither says it’s the other.

everyone seems to think it’s Vinyl,?
I haven’t heard Vinyl used concerning a vehicle in 20+ years. It looks and feels like heavy PLASTIC, but I seemed to get the Words Composite materials from other articles. I know what leather is and there not made of that.
so I am pretty Confused.

Is there someone that can help me get to the bottom of this?
I, like others here want to make sure I’m using the correct cleaning product.

I really appreciate your Help & your Time.
thank you

The best thing I have used to clean any car interior is a wet microfiber cloth. No sprays or chemicals or anything. I’ve noticed any other cleaner becomes sort of a necessity for the part to remain looking good. The only thing that doesn’t hurt is Just water and a microfiber cloth.

Agree, or worst case a spritz of Meyer's or Watkins very mild soap on the damp cloth. I will use 409 on molded plastic parts or panels.

You can do the whole interior with 303 Protectant. The "leather" seats have a coating on them. I use it and it does a great job.
