Is this real wood?

Folks: All the wood we see on the limited and other models, is it thin layer of real wood? If so, how to clean it?

Thanks

I'm sure it's plastic, though I can't quote any references.

It's not even close to wood. Just clean it with whatever you use on the dash. The leather is just on the seating surface as well (and believe 3rd row is 100% leatherette). You can use leather cleaner on all of it.

I have the greyish plastic accents. I like those cause the fake wood does nothing for me.

Thanks: But, I doubt that lexus has real wood too. Becuase, I have driven a lexus and it did not feel real to me. Same texture and feel as sienna.

Most of the trim in luxury brands is real wood. I think the bigger point is...you really can't tell what's real and what's fake. Unless you're looking at older vehicles where you could really see/feel the grain, the fake stuff is pretty close in look feel. We came out of several luxury vehicles and my wife is just as happy with the "wood" trim in the Sienna as her Lexus which IIRC was maple.
