Default 2LT Door/Dash skin cleaner, leather or vinyl?

I know the 3LT is Napa throughout and the 1LT is Pleather but was not sure if the 2LT is a mix of leather/pleather or all leather?

I also cannot tell if the upper skin is one material and the lower door is another.

What should I use to clean it?

I have leather cleaner, vinyl cleaner and interior cleaner all from Griots?

I know the door arm rests, seats, and center console lid are all leather and used leather cleaner but what about the rest?

I leave my roof off a lot so sun exposure is a concern and want to keep it looking as well as possible without always popping on the roof when I run in somewhere.

I have been cleaning and treating it as leather, but I am not really sure myself...

That is what I want thinking, it really should not hurt but not sure if the stuff in the leather cleaner is best to protest a psuedo leather against fading.

Vinyl....(even the "real" leather is plastic coated so no real need for leather cleaner/treatment)

I'm partial to Zaino Z-10 "Leather in a Bottle" because I love the smell of it and works on everything.

Yea me too, been using ZAINO products for over 15 years. I had some dog drool stains on the plastic rear door trim and nothing removed it. Until I tried some ZAINO Z-9 Cleaner and Z-10 Conditioner. Good as new and our pups drool now just wipes off with a damp microfiber towel.

After seeing this very fact having been posted in thread after thread after thread and has been pretty much ignored every time it has been posted.......I've come to the conclusion that no one wants to hear this let alone pay attention to it.

Let 'em do what they want and throw their money away... they will anyway......

I bought this stuff on Glen's advice and it works great. It produces a very mild shine but not at all glossy.
