But give them the time they said it would take and then if its still bad, go back to them, just don't jump right in now, it could aggrevate them that you have not listened to their recommendations.

[B]in another thread I read a while back, I believe it was concluded that the only leather parts of our car are the sections that are perforated, namely the center seat and center back sections, as well as the elbow rest on the center console.

When you said thread, you were speain in upholstery terms, I am on the care and maintenance side of the business, but can look into it for you. PM me if you want more details.
The best way to keep from sweat stains and protect it is again the Cleaner, Conditioner, and Protector that we offer through our website. www.leatherinstitute.com Use the Cleaner for Finished Leather first to get rid of all the dirt and grime, then the CCP for best result, although if you choose to use the CCP, it can stand alone.
I do not want people to think this is a huge plug, but to tell you the truth these are the products I am most familiar with and trust 100%, so for me to send you elsewhere, I can't stand by someone else the way I do with our own. Please understand this, don't think there aren't other good products, but I may not know them quite as well and thus can not speak on behalf of them.

I put my opinion here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...threadid=109277
I still think they are awesome. I took them off and put them back on, paying attention to how the front seam orients (the front edge now looks more smooth than the pictures).

Are you sure about #4 and #5, especially the door cutouts? This sure seems like vinyl to me.
When you talk about seat "outsides", you mean just the back, right?

The entire seating areas are leather, including the area of the bolsters you will sit on, the outsides are definitely vinyl.
List of leather items.
4. Arm rest behind cupholder that is also perforated
5. Door cutouts
The thing is, you can just buy a leather cleaner and use it all over, no need to get the vinyl stuff too.
Rule of Thumb - you can use leather products on vinyl, you can not use vinyl products on leather.
