Type of leather in the 2013?

Does anyone know what type of leather or leather finish is used for the 2013? I'm looking to get a cleaner and conditioner for the interior but don't know much about what type of leather we have. I've searched the detailing forum as well as autogeek for products so I have some ideas on what to use, but not the type of leather I'm using it on.

No need to get a conditioner. Leather for our cars is coated and protected so a conditioner isn't actually conditioning the leather. Get some Lexol cleaner to take care of your needs.

You can also use a microfiber towel (dampened with hot water) or one of the Kiwi shoe brushes.

I am under the impression that Nissan purchased the remainder of the famous "Corinthian Leather" from the now defunct Chrysler Corporation. Rumor has it that Nissan found a warehouse full of the leather in storage in downtown Detriot, MI.

Lexol is one of the products on my short list. I'm also looking at getting some Ultima Interior Guard Plus. From what I've read you can use it on all the interior surfaces except glass. Leather Master Soft Cleaner and LM Protection Cream are also on the list. The Ultima seems like a winner because I could use it on everything on the interior.

I can't believe how many products there are out there. I've been reading off and on for hours on Autogeek.

I'm saving up to buy some "chemical guys" brand cleaning stuff but right now I'm using meguiars wipes to clean..and I have the spray when I want to deep clean and condition it.

I have had great results from Leatherique (Rejuvenator Oil and Prestine Clean) kit on my Infiniti and Z. This stuff does make a difference even with the treated leather. Brings back that great leather smell too.

Google it.

I've already ordered the Leather Master products as well as Ultima for the vinyl and plastic. I've read good things about Leatherique so maybe I'll try that after I run out of the other stuff.
