Thanks for your reply Stevey Y . Since I posted i notice Audi Configurator for Q3 describes fabric as Alcantara/Mixed leather which i suspect is as you describe , real leather and faux leather on different parts of seat . This would ring true as some bits look real leather others don't . To be sure I understand you Autoglym Cleaner and leather balm can be used on both real leather and faux leather parts of seat ? I am not too fussed whether my seats are real or faux leather , just want to make sure I am using appropriate cleaning products . All looks quite hard wearing anyway . I know the more expensive leathers on furniture as well as car seats are softer and more luxurious feeling but may not wear as well as cheaper , usually thicker and less soft leathers
