Default 2001 Leather Question

Hey guys I am going to be treating my leather on my 2001 Mustang GT. Can someone please verify which portion is leather. I have heard that the entire front seating is leather and then I have heard that the middle preforated portion is the only part that is leather.

Can someone please shed light on this so that I can treat my leather accordingly and not the vinyl.

The entire front face of the seat is leather.

If you treat the leather with a cleaner, it will not hurt the vinyl on the rest of the seat.

Just as a FYI so you knowI am not BSing you, I own an upholstery shop.

What about the headrest and is the entire portion of the backseat leather?
Thanks for your answer.

I am about 90% sure that the front of the head rest is leather. My car is in the shop soI cant tell. You should be able to feel the difference by running your hand across the material. The leather is going to feel softer. With the back, it's the same way as the front.

I honestly can't tell. I tried doing that but then I thought it might feel different because that is the only part that is used. I'll treat everything sectionin the front since I know the back part is vinyl.

I clean my leather with leather wipes every single month or so and they still look like new!

Treating it with the Black Magic leather treatment. It has a neutral pH cleaner along with some type of mink oil (a 2 in 1 deal). Is there a specific treatment I should be using?
