Anybody hear of using a 50/50 mix of H20/Witch Hazel to clean soft interior materials? I recently heard someone talking about it and thought "what?!"

Apparently a detailer at a pretty well established dealership in Dallas uses it to clean "leather" surfaces, I don`t think he knows that 98% of interior surfaces, sold today, are some derivative of coated vinyl.

Yup, the *most common* vehicle to actually have real leather (seats) would be Ford`s King Ranch Editions or the like. Now-a-days, all manufacturers are getting pretty good at disguising vinyl as leather (typically a spray on process), heck even the current S63 AMG does not have a "full" leather interior.

That`s a tad misleading, me thinks, MeanGreen. Many cars have real leather seats. Raising cows for automotive leather is a huge business. Mercedes sources thier leather from northern Germany, and has used German taxis as testing ground for thier leather durability. Mercedes admittedly uses a high quality faux leather in the C class, and obviously the AMG in which you speak.
That being said, I think the confusion is that the vast majority of leather seats and surfaces in cars is coated, in other words painted, and you don`t have to care for it like you would the leather in the 1% of cars that have the uber-high quality leather exposed for your touch.
