scoop9 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I have been told that only certain sections of the seats and interior are real leather, the rest being some type of faux leather. Can someone tell me if this is true and if so where is the real leather and what is the recommended condiitioner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately the fabrics got better since the '60s, and there is lots of leather available these days so all is better. Anyway, wouldn't a standard leather cleaner do the job? Seems to me it says it's OK for vinyl and leather somewhere on the container. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilingBoognish Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I've always worried over the years about how many naugas they had to kill to make Naugahyde. Dude. unlike other animals, which must typically be slaughtered to obtain their hides, Naugas can shed their skin without harm to themselves. :D I've used Lexol cleaner in the past with success on my leather/pleather seats, and only used the Lexol conditioner on the leather. However, I've never had to park my cars outdoors, and I'm sure some amount of UV gets through the glass in our vehicles, so I'm not sure how that would work if you had to park in the sun every day.
