Default 2017 Seats and Trim - Nuluxe or Leather and cleaning?

What's a good product to restore the shine on the trim of the 2017 Rx350?

A little confused on what's what in the car.

1. Is the center console and door trim leather?

2. I'm assuming the dashboard and glove box is vinyl.

3. Are the seats leather or Nuluxe? They are heated and cooled if that helps

I guess I'm just asking cuz I don't know if I could use a leather conditioner on the seats because they might not absorb like true leather.

I've been using chemical guys total interior protectant on everything but I'd like to try something else as well.

The only thing that’s leather is the surface of the seats, steering wheel, and the shift ****. The rest is vinyl.

So I can use a leather cleaner and conditioner for the surface of the seats? I have some lexol products.

Are you sure they're not nuluxe?

I think I had the luxury package since I have heated and cooled seats but I forget

You can, but Lexol isn't very good. Yes, I'm sure.

Griot garage interior cleaner on everything but glass. Follow with their leather cleaner or 3 in 1 leather cleaner. You can send them pics and they will offer suggestions. Most car places have their products. Their quick shine for exterior is awesome as most their products are. I took a 2004 ES 330 with dirty seats and interior and made it look pretty new. Wish I saved the before /after pics. I was really impressed with their products and how easy most things came off. I used a brush, like a tooth brush kinda thing to get out harder to handle areas.
