Half Leather interior

[lesstatt]

Bought a bottle of proper leather cleaner and same with conditioner from a detailing company, my interior is half leather, im ok with the seats and i think the door bottoms where pockets are, what else is leather, radio area ? bit of centre console, pretty sure dash top isnt

Yes, someone pls confirm...I thought the whole lot was leather, so it's just the seats and door trim?

No deffo dash top isnt on mine, stitching is just a mould of stitching as such, dont want to use leather cleaner and conditioner on parts that arent leather, dont think it will do them any good and might mark / damage them im not sure

It is only the seat facings and nothing else!!!

Really................ is that it, i thought the door bottom part where the cubby holes were and part of console where gear lever and handbrake are were as well, ? happy to be informed otherwise and i'll just keep using pledge on those if thats the case, leather conditioner on seats only then is that right ?

Thats correct. The gear gaitor in my old Chim cracked badly hence how I know it is vinyl, replaced with a nice supple leather one from E-bay. Full hide was a fairly expensive option from TVR, not just on Chims but right through to the T cars (mines lucky enough to have full hide) and is quite rare especially on the RV8s.

How funny I did not know that. Leather cleaner/conditioner seems a bit of a waste now! lol No wonder the car wash people get such a good result on my dash with their spray stuff

Looks like i will have a lot of stuff left once i have done all the leather on the seats then

Hi Guys,

On most of the Chimaeras just the front part of the seat and the head rest is leather, the rest is "faux" leather.... But, some of the cars have full leather. My previous Chimeara had the "faux" leather and in withing the second week of ownership me too treated all what looked like leather with leather cleaner and feed.... Now my current car has FULL leather interior (everything that looks like leather is leather, it was available for an option for over 2k GBP...).
