On a Ford factory 'Leather Trimmed' seat, the areas I've highlighted in red are leather. The tan areas, and the entire back, are vinyl. The entire rear seat is vinyl as well.
You can tell this yourself if you go out to your car and look closely at the grain in the material.

i love my seats either way and would never have anything other then leather. i use meguires wipes but am wondering is there something more i should be using to keep them good forever. I use the wipes the normal weekend clean up.... i spend mpre time cleaning the car then the house.. kinda sad really

We have used this for decades on tack and it works great on seats.
One clean and condition every couple of months will have your seats feel as if you are sitting in a Lexus. I also use the wipes (Mcguires) every week just for a touch up.

what a difference with the meguiars leather wipes.
got the wipes and a bottle of cleaner/conditioner, used one wipe for all 4 seats and can already see and feel a difference.
went through almost an entire bottle of black magic cleaner/conditioner in the past month and couldn't tell it was conditioned at all.
good stuff

My sister has horses (you know, the kind that require vets) so I have free access to this stuff:

I've tried the "black magic" brand too and it really sucked. I use the meguire's "wipes" weekly and spray everything down monthly with the spray.
the wipes are really good but you need to follow up with the spray to get all the crevices.
