I just did my summer treatment of my seats with Pinnacle Cleaner and Conditioner. I'm really happy with it. It is a 2 in 1 product which is easier to use, but it gives the seats a nice feel once they are treated. I also used it on my new steering wheel. The UV protection is an added bonus that you don't get with all leather products, very few actually. I don't mind using 303 Aerospace either but it tends to make the seats a bit slippery.

So the door cards is our S have both leather and vinyl. What parts are leather?

The door card inserts are supposed to be coated leather, so basically all of the soft material in the center portion of the door cards. Whatever it is, it can't compare to the Italian leather I've replaced them with from JPM Coachworks, if the factory used leather for them it was crap leather so heavily coated in vinyl it doesn't resemble any kind of decent leather.

Is JPM Coachworks still in business? What parts did you have them replace and how did the logistics of that go? Are you local to them?

I've owned this second S2000 for 12 years. The upholstery is tan. I've put 89,000 miles on this car. All it's ever seen is soap and water. I'll match how it looks against any other car.

This photo is two years ago. The steering wheel and shift boot are now black.

On authority of an expert upholsterer who did some work on mine, it's pleather.

Easiest way to test is to burn some. Real leather won't burn really.

They did a number of parts for me, they are in the Atlanta region. Joe Pavich is a great guy and a member here , it has been a couple of years since I got parts from them, but they did a steering wheel, door card inserts, sunvisors, shift boot, elbowpad, for me. They use the best leather IMO, and their colours match well with the S2000 interiors as Joe is familiar with all of our colours. I trust they are still in business but it has been a while since my last order. Dealing with them was fine, it does take a while to get the parts as everything is custom ordered and sometimes you need to send them the oem parts to replace/install - such as door card supports, elbowpad support etc.

Apparently there are no products available for the S2000 these days from JPM. I've picked up leather visor covers, - a leather shift boot and a leather cover for my '01 carpeted center consol.

I never found their online showcase all that helpful, I would always email them and we went that route. I don't know if Joe Pavich left the company or of they had changes but try to email them through their website and see what they say. I know there are other suppliers out there now too, but JPM does great work and they use the best materials IMO.
