Default Dashboard Cleaning

Can anyone tell me what the dashboard is made of - and what is best to clean it. I don't like a glossy look.
Thanks!

It's just plastic I'm fairly sure. I hate that false shine that you get with some of the silicon based cockpit cleaners. So far all I've done is wiped it over periodically with a damp leather. It comes up just fine!

I like 303 - it gives the dash a nice matt look. And 303 works great on tires.

I've used Zymol Vinyl on the dash. The stuff is expensive but it has a great smell and does not leave a glossy finish. Instead, the dash is left with a deep black look without feeling or looking very slippery.

Meguiar's #40. Doesn't leave a shine or sticky coat, but it richens the dash, leather, vinyl, and smells new-car nice (but not strong)

I agree with bobg the 303 works great and no shine.
