noreast Report post Posted June 11, 2010 Hello,I know that car manufacturers reduce cost by using vinyl on non-seating surfaces for their "leather seats" offerings.I just feel that in my 2010 Fusion with leather seats, the definition of "seating surfaces" suffered a substantial reduction. It seems (judging from surface texture) that the only 'real' leather on the seat are the small patches under one's but and behind the lower back.Should I have saved my money and ordered some aftermarket leather covers instead? Bummer, heated seats only come with factory leather!On another note, do I use different cleaning products for these different surfaces? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The leather itself is sealed so whatever you are using on the vinyl surfaces should work just fine on the seats too. It's really more like Pleather then leather.
