Leatherique only on seats?

Which leatherique product are you talking about?
They have a cleaner, dye, rejuvenator oil etc...
If I'm right to assume you are talking about the rejuvenator oil, I've used it on my seats, steering wheel, and shifter.
I found that it did very little to my wheel or shifter.
Perhaps on a high end vehicle, the oil might properly absorb, but on my Pathfinder, I'm pretty sure those areas were covered with some protective coating that did not allow the oil to penetrate.

I have used it many times on leather dashboards with great success. Definitely one of the best leather products out there.

The Old Grey Whistle Test
Unless a Premium Leather option was purchased the type of leather upholstery used by ~ 95% of OEM is a multi stratum covering over the leather hide; the top strata is the surface pigmentation (colour) and an abrasion resistant urethane. Real leather has a recognizable fragrance that is missing from polyurethane and plastic. Simple cleaning, hydration and protection are the steps that will prolong the life of finished leather.
Top-grain premium leather is mostly used in prestige European automobiles; Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lotus, and Rolls Royce, US Cadillac and high-end German automobiles such as; Audi, BMW, Daimler AG, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche, for most of these vehicles premium leather is standard OEM specified equipment, but for most it’s a ‘premium’ package that costs upwards of 2,000 USD . This is the niche market sector both Leatherique and Connolly products were originally formulated for.
Most manufacturer’s advice against using oil-based conditioners on steering wheels as it makes the surface slippery and could be dangerous if you lose control of the vehicles steering
