Interior - What's What?
If we have the leatherette interior, what is vinyl and what is leather?
Dash (vinyl)
Leatherette Seats (vinyl)
Doors (vinyl)
Arm rests (vinyl)
Here's the tricky ones.....
Multi-Function Steering Wheel grip (leather?)
Multi-Function Steering Wheel center (vinyl?)
Shfter boot (leather?)
Emergency Brake boot (leather?)
I was trying to decide if I needed to use Lexal on anything in the interior?
Thanks!

To actually answer your question...
The steering wheel and shift knob (not boot) are leather.
Considering those things are what your sweaty, oily hands touch most often, it is a good idea to clean them with a proper leather cleaner, then a conditioner, a few times a year.
Everything else is vinyl/plastic and any of the multitude of products work well with them (303, nero, etc).

Hurray! That's exactly the answer I was looking for "jwardell". You totally nailed my concerns.
So Lexal cleaner then protectant for the steering wheel. (my shift knob doesn't have any fabric on it), then standard stuff for everything else.
I assume the center of the steering wheel (horn and surround) is also vinyl. The steering wheel itself is the only part that's actually leather.
Thanks!
