Carbon Leather Trim cleaning and protection

PKM3 · 03-05-2011, 11:39 PM

I'm not sure if the "Carbon Leather" trim is genuine leather or only feels real and is actually imitation. If it's genuine leather, the embossed woven texture is a pretty neat feat. The stitching along the edge does not necessarily mean it's leather either. Can anyone confirm if it's genuine leather? - I'd then use the cleaner/conditioner I use on my leather seats.

I can't say for sure but I used leather products on it for three years and it looks as good as the day I brought it home!
