Faux leather vs Napa leather

[Angelo In Seattle]

I have a GT1 which I believe comes with the standard type material faux leather. Since it’s not actual leather? Can I use McGuire’s leather care spray / wipes on the seats and soft touch materials? I have the black interior.

Also I plan to go to a touchless car wash and plan to dry it off with one of those “Absorber” clothes that you wring out. No harm done to the paint via this method correct?

I cant speak about the leather but a touchless wash is fine. I have nowhere to detail the car myself around here so I go through a touchless wash and then take it nearby to my work and dry/wax it.

I am 99.9% sure it’s real leather. Just not Napa.

Okay so it is leather then? The bottle says use caution on immitation leather so I want be sure.

Might be different in the USA but here in Canada you either get Napa leather or standard leather, so all seat options here are real leather.

Kia made it clear in the promo book that all trims have leather interior as standard.

All models come with leather standard

Thanks all!

Let's be clear, the interiors come with what is called "leather/nappa trim". The main body of the seats is not leather. The "business end" of the seats is leather/nappa.

So my cow wasn't named nappa....I'm good.

These days the term is leather seating trim, which means the center portion you sit on, not the sides and I doubt the door cards either.

 

[MerlintheMad]

These days the term is leather seating trip,

Yep, that's the kind of trips I take anymore: seated on leather. Nice. My first leather ride.

Lol! I corrected it.
