Default Which is leather and which is vinly?

i've been reading and searching the board, but i still can't figure which part of the interior is leather and which is vinly. i want to clean and protect both parts but don't want to put the wrong product on. i also been reading a lot of people suggesting to use 303 or vinylex, but the auto zone by my house does not carry either of those. i usually use armor all on my cars but, damn this is the S! ahah. give me some pointers please!

Ok if you S is a 2006 model like you sig says then the following is leather:


Seat facings, bolsters, swab. Anything your body touches when sitting in the car.

The outside edge of the seat swabs, the back of the seats(e.g seat pockets) are vinyl

The perforated section on the door cards is leather the rest is vinyl.

The transmission console cover is leather as is the gearshift gaitor.

Hope that helps

I use townsend leather products on my leather and 303 on the vynil, dashboard and roof

Cheers Rob

The steering wheel (except for the center hub) is also leather.

Are you sure the Gear shift lever boot is Leather?

I was uunder the impression that it was vinyl.

I have an 05, so maybe it was changed for the 06 model?

Armor All products are a no-no for me It makes the vinyl too shiny and eventually crack. I like Meguiar's Quik Detail and 2-in-1 leather cleaner/conditioner.
