Leather Seats in the SEL

[mcali6301]

I have the Edge SEL and I am wondering exactly what kind material the seats consist of. My front seats are soft and "leathery" in some areas and harsh almost like vinyl in other areas. the back seats are perfect..My car is pre-owned and thinking it could be sun damage?

 

I'd like to know what my best options are for cleaning the front seats.

Hi mcali6301,

 

While most of these details are proprietary, there is some soy-based content in the seat cushions, which helps cut down on the amount of material used that rely on oil based products. Some information about this can be found on the Ford Media website. Check here for more info.

Usually the seat back & bottom, the parts you actually sit on & touch would be leather (higher grade) while the sides & back are vinyl (or a lower grade leather). But I don't have solid info on the Edge, so this might not be the case.

Thank you for the responses. Can anyone recommend the best solution to clean these seats with?

 

I bought these leather wipes which I think are pretty weak.

 

I was thinking of moving to cream based solution versus water based..
