I have 2005 Nissan pathfinder, inside there is a mixture of vinyl dash and a felt-like material. Can anyone help me understand what it is and how to clean it ? I have searched around but cant find anything on it. I want to know only because i don't know what to us on it to clean it. If anyone can help i would appreciate it.

Possibly folex carpet cleaner on the felt like material. Might be alcantara which is like a suede material but it is usually in higher end lines like infiniti I think

Owners manual?
 
Bill - you are right it could be a suede type material. I suppose carpet cleaner might be the answer because i didn't think a rubber/vinyl cleaner would actually help and didn't want to leave it greasy or break it down. I can see how the black material has taken in dirt so if nobody else knows anything about it, i think that i may try a little clear on a horse brush and see what it does.

Rsurfer - I look through the whole thing and saw nothing, it was a good idea i wouldn't have thought of.
 
I don't know why I cant upload pictures anymore but i here is a link to exactly what it is.. if you click on the different pictures it will show a close-up.
Hope that helps..

I found this stuff on amazon right now for $8, it says it cleans rubber, vinyl, leather, upholstery, etc.. you think it will be ok ? Kind of hard to pass up $8. It has good reviews and cheap. My dash isn't too dirty, just dusty, and i like the UV protection since it is black interior.

Folex is safe for pretty much anything found in interiors, as fas as being alcantera...in a 2005 Pathfinder, I HIGHLY doubt it.
