Default Dash and interior components

Can someone tell me what the dash and other interior parts are made of? I have some new cleaner that I wanted to try out, but it is for vinyl and specifically says not to use on leather. What pieces are vinyl and what are leather on the C5?? Dash, door panels, console cover, steering wheel? I do use leather conditioner on the seats.

Thanks!

Far as I know the only real leather is on the seats, and that is only the center sections. The dash itself is not leather for sure. (This assumes you have the stock interior, not a VE upgrade or something...)

Yep, it's all stock interior.

I also do believe the steering wheel is leather wrapped.

Also I believe the shifter boot, door handle and e-brake boot are all leather.

My seats, steering wheel, and shift boot all appear to be "fine Corinthian leather". Everything else looks like dead naugas.

Here is what I think is leather: Seat inserts, steering wheel, shift boot and ****, door pull, and e-brake boot. Everything else is either vinyl or plastic.

I use Eagle 1 Leather Conditioner on the seats and it works very well.
