Took a picture of my seats. When I bought my car I thought that they were leather but now that I look at them I don't think that they are. They seem to be some kind of material that is like leather, I wasn't aware there was false leather audi seats.

Take a look:

That's the leatherette surface. It comes on the 1.8t

 

So what is leahterette?

Thanks btw!

 

Its Vinyl. The leatherette seats are very durable and resist cracking and such as regular leather would be more prone to crack.

 

Also known as pleather.

 

leatherette looks better in the long run, smells the same feels the same, and if you didnt know better youd think it was leather... only problem, that god damn rip/crack in the left bolster of the drivers seat that everyone has

 

I heard audi kills panthers for leatherette!

lawl.

 

this is probably posted someone on the forums but i am too lazy to search..what do you guys you to keep your leather from cracking?

 

I use Meguiar's Rich Leather Wipes. They work amazing and smell really good.

 

i dont have any cracks/tears in any part of my leather. just take good care of the car
