I've checked through older posts and understand that just the surfaces of the seats are leather. Are the headrest covers and the top of the arm rest leather? Also my car is a wagon and the material in in the backseat on the middle of the seat back (around the booster seat)do looks like vinyl. Am I correct?

    You are correct, just the seating surfaces, not the sides or back. The center console is not leather. The 5th seat???

    But, it doesn't matter much. You should treat the vinyl with the same lanolin as you treat leather.

    There is an EDIT feature if you do it in the first 5 minutes or so :)
