Im not sure what my dash board is made of. I have a bmw f30 so can i clean the dash board with wg vinyl and rubber protectant or should i use the wg leather cleaner and conditioner?

I have the wolfgang leather cockpit set
 
I'd use the vinyl product since the material on that dash is most likely some sort of plastic/vinyl product. The leather products will contain oils and other materials to condition the leather that the plastic can't absorb.
 
Any APC diluted properly for interior use should be fine. A lot times they can leave a cloudy residue behind, so I like to follow that with a filtered water wipedown and then 303 Aerospace to protect.
 
I've had great results using a 3 step combined approach:
1. Swiffer duster to trap and remove light dust
2. Einzett cockpit premium applied to a microfiber for stains/marks/spots
3. Followed up with 303 protectant for a long lasting matte finish. I prefer the 303 wipes over the spray since they're easy to work close up to interior glass surfaces.

Mothers VLR or BF interior cleaner to clean, then treat with UIG +, Aero 303 or Mequires Quick Interior detailer.
 
Make sure to dilute APC very good, anything too strong can leave a white chalky residue. I love 303 for interiors, use a generous amount then you can buff it off to leave a nice dark matte factory looking finish!
 
I use Sonax dash cleaner works great and static resistance. I'm not a fan of using APC on anything on the dash thats just me. I will only use products made to specific areas of the car. I'm not willing to take the chance of damaging my customers cars in anyway.
 
I clean dashboards/interior with groits garage interior cleaner diluted 1:4 then dress it with either Adams VRP or carpro perl
 
Properly diluted P21S Total Auto Wash. Cleans well without a strong chemical smell.

Mothers VLR followed by their protectant is a good combo as is Mwguiar's quik interior detailer followed by ultimate protectant or any of the ohter protectants they offer.
 
I use APC diluted for the purpose, something like DP Interior Cleaner or CG All Clean+. And then to dress it Wolfgang Cockpit Sealant and CG Inner Clean for touch ups.
 
Some don't want a shiny dashboard, it can reflect light onto the windshield or into your eyes. 1Z cockpit leaves no shine, maybe some others do the same.
 
1Z Cockpit Premium is tough to beat for routine maintenance! That or Meg's Quik Interior Detailer is all my drivers have ever needed.
 
My DD has a black pebble texture dash that feels kind of like rubber. So far the best I have found is a little APC lightly sprayed on a MF towel. Takes the dirt but doesn't leave a shine.
