Is it Leather or Not?

[lineman]

For clarification, I have a 2013 Nissan Murano with a "leather" interior. Some where on this forum there was an article on how to test to see if it really is "leather" or something with a coating. I need to know in order to keep what I have clean and protected. The second part is what to use. I have Leatherique Pristine Clean which says it cleans and conditions leather, vinyl and plastic. I also have Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner and Conditioner, supposedly does the same and is OTC. Third on the list is Meguiar's Interior Detailer Cleaner which I am thinking would be for all other surfaces? We're looking to keep this car long term and I want to use a good product that will not leave a greasy film.

I'm 99% sure it's coated leather but you can test by putting a drop of water and seeing if it soaks into the surface

SO...if it soaks into the surface it's leather?

All modern day leather seats are coated. The question, is it real leather? Nissan has a live chat that can tell you what you have. The Prestine Clean is a great product.
