Hi all. I've been a proud owner for the last 4 months now. I try to clean my car weekly to biweekly inside and out. I was wondering if the top surface of the dash as well as the rail surface on the inside of doors are leather, and if so, then I should use leather cleaner on it? Thanks.

 

Leather cleaner will work on them, but they are vinyl.

If I recall everything correctly...
leather = seats, steering wheel, shift knob, shift boot, console armrest, door panel inserts

 

vinyl are like the one with holes and feel little rougher than leather.

 

You will probably get a better response in the wash and wax forum. There is also a FAQ there that answers all your questions.

 

IIRC, only part of the seat is leather...

 

i think the shiftboot is vinyl

 

shift boot is vinyl. I think the console is too.

 

I think the backs and sides of the seats are vinyl, then leather starts at the inside of the bolsters and everything you sit on. Just something I remember hearing.

 

sabre and b.money have it right

Leather:
Seats (only the areas you sit on)
Steering Wheel (perforated parts only)
Elbow Pad
Door Panel Inserts
Shift Knob+Shift Boot(AP2 only)

everything else is vinyl.

 

Thank you all. Saves me leather cleaner. I was wondering why the sides of the seat are such shitty "leather"
