It's real, but clear coated like many/most automotive wood trims.

Your leather is also real, but vinyl/clear coated. Same with your paint, and so on...

Use some murphy's soap oil, should work well on the wood trim and I love how it cleans the leather, gives it a kinda dull look. Just make sure you dilute it. I believe its 1/4 cup of murphy's to 5 cups of water.

Plus one to all that. 303 is the best for protecting the dash from fading. apply every month or two, and you should be just about UV proof. And not only does lexol seem to make the leather more pliable/softer, but it smells great. It's helped preserve my new car smell for over a year now.....but you need to clean the leather with something Murphyst oil soap or Meg's leather cleaners more so than condition it - clean once a week with meg's and condition once a month or two, and it will really help our cheap leather from cracking early like it tends to do.

I have a larger one, had it for years - it's FILTHY (you can't wash them) but still picks up dirt big-time. Will buy another soon. A small one for in the car use is a great idea...

are you trying to polish it? if you can, i'd try to stay away from polishing, etc.. at most, take a swifter and grab the dust of it.

i LOVE the swifter. it does so well to clean up all the little pieces of dust on the dash, etc. without scratching, scuffing, etc..
