Leather and Vinyl Treatment/Dash Board Treatment (good/bad/necessary?)

A few basic questions.

1. What are people using to treat their leather? I’m using Lexol, but wonder if it really does any good since modern leather is essentially plastic coated and non-absorbent anyway. I've heard that Leatherique is very good, but again, with non-absorbant leather, how would this help me/us? Any thoughts? Are the “wipes” type cleaners/conditioners any good.

2. What are people using for their Vinyl? I’m currently using the Vinylex (by Lexol) on things like the door panels, but am reluctant to use it or anything on the dash. I’ve heard way to many Armorall horror stories about cracking dashboards after treating with protectant.

Has anybody investigated any of these issues?

    Fieblings leather conditioner is what I use. I bought it at a local leather shop. The manager that I knew quite well told me that it was about the best product on the market for leather care. I use it in my 97 850-R with excellent results. I don't put any treatment of any kind on the dash and it still looks new.

    Your on the right track!! Use lexol for all your
    interior leather and vinyl concerns. I've tried
    many and keep coming back to Lexol.

    Not to worry about the dash. Vinylex has the good
    silicones not the bad ones.
