Leather vs vinyl in upholstery question
 

Hello all. New to the group here. On my '07 ES350 interior (the very light beige color) it appears that not all parts of the upholstery are leather; it appears that the seat sides & backs, and some of the door panel construction are vinyl. I base this on the slight difference in color, texture and thumbnail drag. So as I am doing a thorough interior detailing, I need to know where to use a leather conditioner and where to use a vinyl conditioner. Does anyone have knowledge or a reference on what sections are leather vs vinyl? Thanks in advance.

A good rule of thumb is only seating surfaces are leather, and the rest is vinyl. Many of the cleaners/conditioners can safely be used on both surfaces.

I am planning on using Lexol leather conditioner on the leather parts and Mequires Natural Shine Protectant for vinyl, rubber, and plastic on the vinyl parts. But I want to be sure to get the right product on the right material as I don't think they are good to cross apply, especially the vinyl protectant would not be good on leather!

That makes sense since you'll be using a protectant on the vinyl and rubber. Good luck with your project.
