Are my seats leather? And how to clean?

[CX-DM]

Hey guys,
Will be attempting to clean the seats on my 2021 GT this weekend.
The first thing I'm not sure about is what material my seats actually are. How do I know if they are leather vs leatherette? Or even something else?

And then, what are my options in terms of cleaning? I'm guessing I can't go wrong with plain water with a touch of mild soap? Or should I use a more dedicated product?
I definitely don't mind splurging on good products if they are worth it.

Yep, they are leather. Several good products out there to consider.
I've used products from Lexol, Chemical Guys, Griots, and Mequiars with good success.

I like Gyeon cleaner , a foam product which is especially good for perforated leather and, or leatherette seats. Next, Gyeon Leather Coat protects the seating and adds a bit of slippery to the touch feel so that the seats are easier to clean.

Here is a link to a set that includes bnoth the cleaner and the protective coat product:
