On your site you have the cleaner in a quart bottle. Earlier you mentioned that it is ok to use leather products on vinal. I am looking for a cleaner I can use on the whole interior(dash, leather, vinal, and plastic trim. Do you think the cleaner is ok for this?

I use a conditioner made by "Eagle One" that leaves no residue in the holes. It is a creamy clear liquid that when rubbed in will turn a bit creamy/white, but leaves nothing in the holes when you buff it off of the seats. I have also used the Meguiar's and because of having to get that crap out of the holes, I stopped using it and I'm going to end up giving the bottle to my mom to use on her Acura 3.2TL which has no perforations.

Looks to me like your cow had gotten a little skin rash or cut. It could be...
a. a scar from getting cut, as they do on barbed wire fences
b. bug bite...a big one
c. a urine burn, these things go actually happen
The good news is that it was finished over, so it will not wear more than the other areas or anything. They basically just used a lower grade hide that has imperfections. It will be fine in terms of use, but it doesn't look pretty, thats about it. Personally we have seen much worse over the years, so I wouldn't worry too much. If you are really really upset, maybe you should see if Honda will replace the leather, but do not attempt to fix this, you are much better leaving it the way it is.

Not exactly a leather question but when I was removing one of the seats, one of the the seat rails touched the door panel and I have a 1/4" cut in the vinyl. What's the best way to repair this? Thanks.
