Given the perforated leather seats I'm wondering what the best way to clean and condition them is. I have read in other forums that the leather is actually covered in a thin vinyl layer. Is this true and if so would vinyl cleaners be more appropriate? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I have yet to hear that the TL leather is anything but leather.

The BACKS of the seats MAY be vinyl. Check the literature to see if it says "all leather" or "seating surfaces".

Use Lexol cleaner and Lexol Leather Conditioner 2x per year. Rub it in with your hands, and buff off after a few minutes. Lexol is the standard that others try to copy.

For your vinyl on the doors, dash etc, use Lemon Pledge. It is also good for wood, plastic, chrome, etc. Spray a little on a soft cloth, wipe and buff.

Thanks for the links Norse. The info I had read came from the acura-TSX link below regarding leather. I'm not sure if it has the same leather or not but they describe as having some sort of vinyl coating over the leather. Anyone knwo for sure if this is the case? Thnz Auto for the Lexol info. I'll check it out By the way my car looks just like yours without the bra. Good color choice!!
