Which Parts are Actually leather?

I have a 2007 RDX with Technology Package. Which parts of the interior are actually leather. Is it just the perforated area in the middle of the seats? Also, are the perforated door areas also real leather? Its so hard to tell.

Acura tells me just the seating "surfaces" are leather? Does that mean the whole seat, front, sides and back?

I am trying to figure this out because I want to apply 303 to all the "pleather" parts and use Lexol on the actual leather parts.

Vinyl will give a little, leather will give by "wrinkly or pucker" when you press a finger in. Generally the seating surfaces are lether, including the perforated and adjacent parts. Once you 'turn the corner' to the sides, this is usually vinyl.

Leather Seating Surfaces = The perforated area that your body actually touches. The side bolsters are vinyl or pleather or whatever they use. It was the same on my RSX. People cant really tell the difference between Leather and the Bolster material so they just use it. Real leather would get ruined faster i think.

What's 303? What's Lexol for that matter? Anyone else use it? does it help prevent staining/water damage?
