Lexol is the way to go. :29:

Is there anything safe to use on Leather and Vinyl since the MDX seems to have a mix all over the place....

Lexol makes products for both.

But I don't want to keep track of which pieces are what. It seems like the seat tops and headrest fronts are leather and the seat sides and headrest backs are vinyl. I have no idea about the door pieces.

I just want one product that can be used effectively over all of the vehicle seating and trim.

With Lexol or Zaino treatments you can't go wrong.

On vinyl, I was once told by a professional upholsterer that just clear silicone spray is the major component of most vinyl cleaners and protectants.
But apply to the cloth first.

I think 303, Vinylex, or Zaino's equivalent, should be just fine.
I like Novus for the plood and hard plastic parts.

I got a free sample of 303 with my Colgan bra and did half with 303 and the other half with Vinylex. The 303 evaporated quickly, while the Vinlylex seemed to spread into a glossier film. At the end, the entire bra looked just fine. I have no idea which is better, but regular cleaning is probably more important than the brand you use, to a point.

For vinyl, go with the 303, which you can find at any boating/marine shop. Leather, go with the lexol! :)

Zaino & 303

Just started using Zaino here. Like that it contains UV protection additive, but am indifferent to the leather-smell additive.

So do I want the Lexol Leather Conditioner? Do I have to order
it on-line or do auto parts stores carry it?
DaleB
Many auto parts store carry the conditioner, not the cleaner. I don't find it necessary to use the cleaner as often if you just use a water-dampened cloth for general cleaning, and keep seats vacuumed.
But if you neglect it for a while, it's probably good to use the cleaner too to remove any residual dirt, etc.
