Well, sounds like another victim of the nondetailitus 
Ok, take your butt to an auto parts store and stock up on some leather and vinyl cleaners. Get all the dirt out of the surfaces - will take some time, especially, if you've never done it before. Make sure you use plenty of clean MF towels. Get yourself a couple of nice conditioners - one for vinyl, one for leather. Read the intructions on the conditioners, test them on inconspicuous areas before you apply.
There's no easy solution to dull interiors - you just have to maintain it. Dusting and vacuuming once a week, thorough clean once a month, conditioning every 3 months - simple and works (for me).

MF ... that's MicroFiber ... not MudderFudder
for sure. You'd be surprised how much funk will come off your interior with just a mist of plain water and a "MF" wipedown!

i use black magic "protectant"
i is greasy, but if you spray it on a clean rag (not a lot) and put it on your dash, it DOES NOT go on greasy and it looks great. my dash looks like it just rolled off the assembly line.
