Default interior detailing

hi guys,

what do you use to clean/protect interior seats and dashboard? i already noticed some cracking on the driver's seat. i was about to use some armor all until i realized the seats were leather. so i wiped down the upholstery on the sides of the doors instead and was wondering if that material is vinyl or leather as well?

I'm pretty sure the doors are just a soft vinyl. No manufacturer uses leather more than absolutely necessary, at least below the Rolls Royce level! I remember wondering the exact same thing about the door panels.

I think something like armor all can definitely be used on the dash; as from what i can tell that is not leather even though it kinda looks like something other than plastic. For the seats though I would get a good quality leather cleaner and a leather conditioner as the cleaner will just clean the leather but the conditioner will help to keep the leather from cracking.
