what are they?? i dont know what to use to clean them. armor all or like products which clean plastics and vinal or should i go to a full leather treatment?


pics for clicks

 

and that also goes for the headliner

 

Its Leather!! (otherwise your car would have been a "Vinyl Sport" )
try the Lexol products, there is a cleaner, then a conditioner, or similar - quite a few out there. BUT TRY A SMALL TEST AREA FIRST!!! Sometimes these cleaners, etc. leave the surface feeling "sticky". Do NOT use an armorall product - will plug up the pores in the leather :p
Don't forget the steering wheel and shift ****. And for the threaded seams, get an old toothbrush to work the cleaner and conditoners into the seam to clean properly.
Nice SA - lucky dawg!!!!

ha now what about the peice covering the rear wheel wells?

 

the headliner in my Leather Sport is leather. the rear wheel well humps are vinyl.

 

ha glad i havent cleaned it yet with anything

 

yeah, most of that headliner and some of the side panels are leather. you'll feel a difference between the wind deflector which is vinyl and the headliner and such.

 

uhh, I think you guys are going to discover the headliner is also vinyl - different grade or type maybe, but considering most _higher-end_ cars (BMW, Jag, etc.) don't do leather on the headliner, you can be sure mazda wouldn't bother - and FWIW, while the Mazda Parts Book goes to _great_ lengths in noting the various leather trim on the seats, steering wheel, etc. and all the fiddly parts thereof, the Book does NOT specify a leather panel for the roof...
