Default 2007 RX 350, what cleaning products for interior?

Less than 2 weeks ago, I purchased a 2007 RX 250 with 143K miles. I was mainly wanting to ask, what should I use to clean the dash? Would Meguiar's supreme shine protectant be good?
I've used it on plastic dashboards before and it seems to be good, but on this RX350, it doesn't seem to be plastic, not sure what material is on the dash.

Should be ok. We used Meguiars products at our family body shop years never had any problems. Im currently using Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer on my RX it doesn't leave a shine, but does a good job of cleaning the interior.

I've been using Mothers VLR and like it for a couple of reasons. The price point is a little lower, it is also used to clean and protect leather as well as vinyl and plastic, and it doesn't leave surfaces glossy. I just don't care for glossy plastics, etc. The product you posted looks like it's meant to be glossy; which, if that's what you like great. However, I would not do anything to make my dashboard glossy. Read around, these dashes are inherently sensitive to heat and can become sticky and crack so invest in a sunshade too.

I am not a fan of the glossy look as well that's why I went with the quick detailer plus it works on all material. Previous owner didn't use any glossy stuff and the interior looked new so I decided to do the same. I will check the mothers out heard good things the quick detailer was on sell 2 for 5 at the time.

Aero 303 is better, doesn't give that tacky high gloss finish and has good Uv protection.

I'm with BlackLexRX for Mothers VLR, for the same reasons....
use a Microfiber Cloth, I tend to use 3 Microfiber Cloths, one for the Plastic areas with more dust etc. one for the Foot Sills (they come out as new) & one just for the Leather.

I just purchased a 2016 RX350 and have AC in the seats. What should I use to clean and protect those? Since there are tiny holes in the seats, I'm concerned with using something that might clog them.
Thanks in advance for any and all recommendations.

I would recommend posting in the RX 4th Generation Forum.....

If you want it glossy, yes. If not, I'd also suggest 303.
