    You can tell. The Leather in a early Hyundai is not as nice as say a Benz.

    99.1% (or there about) of automotive cabin-leather is "coated" with some type/grade of a urethane.

    Hard to tell the total outlay that an OEM spent, on this "type" of leather.

    What about Pleather, MB-Tex, NuBuck, etc...
    "Coated", or not?

    I don't think leatherette would need to be coated since it's a man made material.

    Leather is coated to preserve it.

    •IMHO:
    -Maybe yes; maybe no.
    -Depends on the OEMs' engineering specs for their vehicle models that are to receive this "type" of leather.

    ^^^Kinda my point all along.^^^l
    •So how can the "quality of the leather" be readily known if it's coated?

    •OH Yea...I must not forget that:
    Not all "types" of leathers are coated, though,

    Wouldn't the leatherette be designed with a coating, so technically it's not a coating, it's just as designed

    Using your above analogy, then;
    The "real" leather, (that comprises the outermost component of my truck's auto-seats' total architectural-structure), although and by design: having been "coated for protection", is not really technically coated---it's just as designed.

    Correct?

    No, not at all. Leather is a natural surface that is protected for longevity. Leatherette is engineered to not need a coating or protectant for longevity. Huge difference.

    Check out the maint requirements for a VW with leatherette, it's basically maintenance free. Their leather equipped cars are not.

    I got the leather cleaner and conditioner........dislike the fact that it leaves a greasy feeling when someone sits on it.

    Time to ditch this or any other leather conditioners!!

    It's: Clean and Protect. Clean and Protect.
    This kit will accomplish that feat:
    Leather Master Car Leather Protection & Cleaner Kit, Leather Master Ink Away Ink Remover, ink lifter, leather cleaner, leather protection
