Is our dashboard leather? I am trying to figure out what is leather and what isnt because I am going to be doing some interior detailing with Leatherqique.

 

Vinyl, so use your favorite vinyl cleaner and protectant. I like 303.

Besides the seats (obviously), the center and door armrests appear to be leather.

Why are you using leatherique? Is your leather old and neglected? If your car is fairly new, you can just clean and condition it with something like Poorboy's World Leather Stuff.

 

The car is about two years old. THe leather has some cracks and stuff.

 

Why does the leather have cracks after only 2 years?

 

Ask Nissan for using cheap materials. My 08 is cracked all over.

 

I know it total bs. My steering wheel is really worn down and 'bald'.

 

Mine is 2 years and counting. I apply Meguiars leather conditioning about once every 2 months. No cracks yet.

+1 on our cheap interiors.

I guess it's one way to keep costs down.

 

I have been using lexol conditioner every month but I started about a year into owning the car so leather damaged already manifested at that point

 

I bought mine used few days ago and the first thing i did was apply Lexol. Looks 10 times better then it did when I drove it off the lot.

 

I dont understand how anyone's steering wheel could be bald by now. You must be doing something wrong with it.

Maybe it's the CA heat. My steering wheel still looks brand new. As does the one in my dad's 08.

 

How about the steering wheel? The handle is leather wrapped?
