Yeah, because with 268 horses, the other 267 that don't have a saddle might be jealous.

What is Leather inside the EXL cabin

I'm going to hit up the inside of my new car with Lexol this weekend. Besides the seats, what else is leather inside the cabin. For example, the dash looks kind of like a "football" leather but I'm not too sure. Same with the part of the door panels. Can anyone please confirm exactly what is leather inside the cabin.
Thanks in advance.

The dash is not leather! It's molded plastic. I would not put anything on the dash other than a damp microfiber cloth to dust it. If you put anything on it such as armorall, you can kiss the nice matte finish goodbye. Put lexol on the entire seat, armrest, door armrest insert and leather steering wheel cover. Some of these parts may be vinyl but Lexol will work fine on those areas too.

You can try using Armor-All's low-shine finish. It won't create the shiny glare that most armor-all products produce.

Just make sure they accomodate your seat-mounted side-airbags!

In all my cars, I never put any type of cleaner/shiner on the dash. I just wipe it down with very damp cloth. Though I should use some type of protection from the sun, but I try to use a sun shade. Its bad enough from having a new car that all the gases inside the car build up and build a film on the windows and sunroof glass. Its annoying to wipe those down too. I just wiped down the windows a few weeks ago, and now all the windows have a film on them.

To get rid of that interior film that builds up, try using "Invisible Glass" by Stoner. It cuts right through and leaves the glass very clear. I'm also with you on not putting anything on the dash materials. Once you use any armor all type product, even the low gloss stuff, you'll never have that nice mat finish. I use a lightly dampened microfiber cloth to clean. When parking use a sun shade and you'll be fine without contaminating your dash with crap.

I'll try that, does it work okay on tinted windows? Yes, having the car look new, smell new is key to me, my other leased car look amazing when I traded it, and then guess what.........? Well I came back to find my car traded twice between 2 dealers, and I found it, it was all gummed up with shiny amor with dust on the dash and doors. Also the beautiful silver paint I had taken car of what all gritty to the touch from sitting outside, and this is the dealership that apparently takes an unexperienced employee with a bad hand at buffing out cars. Every car on the lots had SERIOUS swirl mark damage!! I mean every car, luckily, I bet my old lease was next... Just goes to show, that all the hard work can all be undone by some dealer that has no clue how to take car of a car.
