Question Grand Touring leather ??

What is leather in the GT? I just got some Maguiar's Gold Class Leather Cleaner/Conditioner and Maguiar's Natural Shine - Vinyl Cleaner.

I can't tell what is leather and whats not! I obviously don't want to put vinyl stuff on leather. Any advice would be appreciated!

Seats - DOH!

Part of the dashboard?

Center console (top part).

Door armrests (and related area)?

THX!

Just the part of the seat that is smooth (center and headrest-area). That is the only leather, except for shiftknob and steering wheel.

Take care applying any leather conditioner to the steering wheel. It can make it slippery and difficult to grasp, which could lead to trouble. Also, any conditioner you put on the shift **** could be easily transferred to the steering wheel with your hand.

My wife made the mistake of putting Armor All on her steering wheel (not leather); I had to scrub it clean to drive safely.

Whatever you use, test it first on a seat to see how it will finish. If it's not too slick, then apply to the steering wheel and shift ****.
