leather or vinyl

I forgot where I posted this question, so I'm just creating a new thread.

Anyways, I'm wondering if anyone knows if the following are vinyl or leather on the SL:
1. Steering Wheel
2. Dashboard
3. Center Arm Consol
4. Gear Shift Handle

I'm not sure if I should use leather treatment or vinyl treatment on them. Thanks.

3. Center Arm Consol- Leather on both SE and SL
4. Gear Shift Handle- Leather on both SE and SL
5. Parking brake lever- leather on both SE and SL

Leather, I think....

I think the parking brake lever cover is leather. The end of the handle is different than the base of the lever. If you check on the underside of the lever, there is a sewn seam on the leather (at least there is on my SL). If yours is indeed the same way, the fact that you thought it was plastic speaks to how tightly stretched the leather is. Great fit and finish for this part of the Maxima, huh?

I agree, and I'm still not 100% certain it's leather or not. It doesn't feel like vinyl to me, but it could be.
