What is the best stuff to use on the dash and the door panels? Can I use leather conditioner?

I've had good results with
1) just a damp microfiber towel
2) 303 Aerospace Protectant
3) Meguiar's Natural Shine
#1 is sufficient to keep it clean and good looking.
#2 and #3 deepen the color of the vinyl a little without adding bling.

I've used nothing but a damp microfiber towel on the complete interior.

I use a LVR Protectant called liquid tec. It has sun screen that protects and restores luster. It is lanolin-based and provides a non-oily water repellant and anti-static protection. Contains no silicones. I also use it my leather seats. Have used for years. It is a finish first product.

303 Protectant for a nice matte surface. Megs Quik Interior Detailer for clean natural look. And we carry the Trim Shine if you need it from Stoners also.

Yes, you can use a leather conditioner. Zaino Z10 works excellent for this. A little trick is, if you want it a little glossier you can add a little Z16 to your Z10. Leaves your car smelling great. Some other things I have used are 303 and VRT.
