Which parts do I clean with leather cleaner?
 

Hey guys. Series.Blue owner here. I've got some cleaner for the plastic interior parts, as well as some leather cleaner. Problem is I'm not sure which to use on what. I know the blue trimmed parts of the seats are real leather along with the steering wheel and the shift knob. Beyond that, are all the other "leather" parts (such as the knee pads, door arm rests, and shifter/ebrake boots) fake leather? If so, should I use the leather cleaner, or just the interior cleaner I have?

EDIT: Just realized I posted this in the wrong sub-forum by accident. Feel free to move it, mods.

Random bump since I never got an answer, lol.

Just use the leather cleaner on anything that appears leather. Won't hurt the fake stuff and then at least you are sure.

Test it on a small spot first... standard procedure for any unknown surface + cleaning product.

Yea this is really simple use it on anything leather or leather like. The only thing I don't put it on is the steering wheel, since it tends to be slippery for a few days.

Just saw pics of a used car, that had seat bolster wear. The inner seat (part you touch) is leather. The outer parts of the bolsters are vinyl.

I agree with everything everyone else has said. Good advice.

I use Lexol leather cleaner, and their conditioner on everything on my Monogram. Not greasy or slippery and leaves a nice, natural leather shine. If you like your leather to look "wet," I would not suggest it. I'm also using it on my leather dress shoes, and now my leather watch band.

Nothing in the car is real leather (even the alcantara microfiber is a synthetic suede). So I wouldn't use leather cleaners or conditioners. I'd stick with using an all purpose cleaner and microfibers, and be sure to use a boars hair brush and a vacuum cleaner to straighten the fibers back up when you're done drying it.

On the interior vinyl I use very-diluted apc and 303 aerospace.
