Leather vs. vinyl in interior

I have a 2008 TSX with black interior. I am always looking for the best ways to keep the interior looking its best. Something that keeps bugging me, as I try leather conditioners, vinyl cleaners, etc., is that it's difficult to tell what parts of the upholstery are leather and what are vinyl. I guess the vinyl is done nicely in the car (or else the leather isn't), because the materials are almost indistinguishable. So, I'm assuming all the perforated material (including on the door panels) is leather. Or is it? How about the non-perforated side bolsters on the seats? The front of the headrests? The back of the headrests? Steering wheel rim perforated section....non-perforated section...rear center armrest...the pad on the top of the armrests....etc? Thanks for any opinions or consensus.

I stopped using lexol since it doesnt do much for vinyl. But anythin that we touch is leather, the stuff with holes are vinyl. I used
the green bottle by turtle wax? its some vinyl cleaner and shines stuff up.
