Dumb question about leather interior

Ok, really dumb question:

With the leather interior, what EXACTLY is leather and what is vinyl/plastic? I don't want to use the wrong cleaning product on the wrong material. IE, are the door panels leather? The entire seats? Parts of the dash?

The door panels, Steering wheel, and center parts of the seats are leather. The ribbed portion s of the seats are vinyl.

I would qualify that as "There are no dumb questions just dumb answers from dealers".

Correction.....

Door panels, front and rear are not leather, just vinyl.

The centre console bits are also vinyl.

Steering wheel, shifter and colored parts of seat are leather.

The leather seats are made in Italy :D

I use Meaguers leather cleaner and they said it is safe on Vinyl too. I use the same product for all the inside now with no problems.

I emailed Mazda just to be sure:

In regards to your inquiry, the 2005 RX-8 includes leather on the
seating surface itself (where the driver and passenger's body touch the
seat). The sides of the seats and the backs are faux leather (vinyl).
The steering wheel and gear shift **** are leather. Where applicable,
door trim is faux leather.

I hope that this information helps.
