– but were too afraid to ask.

Automobile manufacturers have blurred the distinguishing lines on what exactly leather is. Premium leather is the top split of the hide. There are many so-called ‘leathers’ that are actually the bottom split (the fibrous part of the hide) which are covered with a vinyl or urethane coating. Diagnosis is the key, not guess work. Before deciding on what products to use, you need to ascertain the grade of leather and the type of leather finish applied,

Automobile model ranges use different materials for their vehicles interiors; leather upholstery like Aniline Immersion Dyed, Aniline Micro Pigmented, (Urethane) Finished, Artificial leather such as MB-Tex and unfinished materials like Synthetics and Alcantara, and sometimes combinations of products (Alcantara seat inserts on leather seating) as well as various grades of leather hide, full-grain, top-grain and split –grain (which is protected with urethane) all of which require different products and applications methods

Ok, so why don't you save us the time and just tell us which of these hide types Infiniti uses so I can go buy the required treatment for maintenance?

The water drop test is simple enough (a five year old can do it) it will give you an idea of the type of leather finish is used on your vehicles upholstery and you can select an appropriate care product from there

In the above link you asked what a troll and a post ***** were because you didn't understand the "lingo". So I'm going to try to explain it to you.

If you read the above quote you posted in this thread. This is the definition of a troll....coming into a thread and contributing nothing but sarcastic and smarta$$ remark to a knowledge based topic you probably know nothing about.

A post ***** is what you're doing right now by posting jibberish on multiple threads just to boost your post count.

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure you know what both definitions are.


Sorry OP for hijacking your thread, and thank you for the links on leather types.
