    What is and isn't leather inside my car?

    Hey guys,
    I came to this forum seeking some clarification and expert on an issue im having when washing my BMW 120i E88 Auto convertible. The issue that I am having is that I am not completely sure what is, and what isn't leather inside my car. I will now post some photos, if someone could please clarify that would be amazing. Thank you for your time and assistance.

    I have created an instagram account whereby I have uploaded photos of what I believe is leather, and what isn't. https://www.instagram.com/dyara25/ What do you think?

    PS. Sorry I couldn't upload it within this post. The images were apparently too large to be uploaded.

    I also currently have the Meguiars Cleaner and Conditioner ( http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/autogeek_2268_501042380 ) as well as the Natural Shine Protection (http://www.productreview.com.au/p/me...rotectant.html ) but am unsure what to apply for each of those parts within my car apart from my seats as I know 100% that they are leather. It is more so the dashboard, for example, that I am unsure about? Thanks

      Leather conditioner on seats, shift boots, center console.

      Natural shine on the rest of the interior pieces.

      This is my recommendation based on the photos you have provided.

          Thank you for the responses guys So there is leather (usually contains stitching and is cushy) and leatherette (ie vinyl leather).

          I THINK:
          You can use a cleaner/conditioner on both the leather and leatherette
          OR
          You can only use Natural Shine Protection on the leatherette and a cleaner/conditioner on the leather

            What would you use on the steering wheel? Here is a photo of it http://s276.photobucket.com/user/gea...ls005.jpg.html
            Note: If you look very closely, you will find that the steering wheel contains stitches.
