Lexol leather cleaner. It kinda lathers up and does a good job of cleaning.

Most car leather is coated with a layer of sealant type dressing, so you are not treating leather, but the top coat. I used 303 protectant on mine, looks great. I don't think leather products hurt it tho, but they are formulated for leather skin.

I doubt they are really 'sealed' with anything. Leather must 'breathe' in order to stay flexible and not crack. Just my opinon.

The seating surfaces are leather. The side panels are not.

the door panels, but not the side panels on the seats. They are vinyl. Found this out when seat covers were replaced.
