What parts of the seats and door panel inserts are real leather on the '05 sedan? The stuff on the door looks like vinyl, especially the part that looks perforated but isn't, but what about the door handles, seat backs, etc. I have different products for leather and vinyl. Thanks.

 

Many car companies say that the leather interior is for the "seating surfaces" .
But I can't find anything that says this specifically for the G.

I have the Stone interior ... so I used the vinyl conditioner on all of the black trim pieces (dash, console, upper area of each door) ...and then I used the Lexol Leather Conditioner on everything else. That should work fine.

 

Does anyone's leather cracking? Mine is an early 03 bought in 4/02 and the topcoat on the leather is looking rough. Only on the driver side. Any suggestions for top notch reconditioning conditoner?

 

Lexol leather conditioner every 30 days in hot climates or 60-90 days in cool climates. Probably wipe seats down with a damp but not soaking cloth and dry before putting conditioner on. I don't know if theres alot to do for leather once its in bad shape though.

 

I have the same interior and did exactly the same. The only thing is I noticed that some areas do not absorb the Lexol conditioner and it doesn't look so great - appears to leave residue and get dirty. I think these are vinyl which does not need to have oil rubbed on it which is essentially what Lexol is.
303 Aerospace is supposed to help seal in the plasticizers in vinyl and keep it from cracking from the sun. But I don't want to put this on real leather although they say you can.

 

From what I've read in the past is that the leather seating material has been sprayed with a light vinyl coating which will be better kept with a vinyl coating protector than a strictly leather one. The leather one will seem to build up. Peace and try the search.
