Leather and Not Leather

[cptzippy]

In cleaning leather seats and leather bits in a car, how do you tell what is leather and what is vinyl, pleather, etc. I ask because I remember when I got a car (think two cars ago) the front of the seats were leather and the backs and door inserts etc were fake leather.



The car I wondering about specifically is a 2007 Acura MDX.

That can be tough. Many cars have just leather seat facings. I wanted to know on my car, which has a full leather option, exactly where the leather was. I contacted the mfr and they responded back to me within a day or two with everything that was the real deal - - I was amazed.



Wear becomes apparent on real leather vs. faux leather. However, an `07 vehicle may not be showing much wear yet. Is there an Acura forum where you could ask? Maybe someone would know, Captain.
