    Satisfied with leather. No experience with PVC though.

    Leather Clazzios for close to 5 years and still looks like new. I use 303 Areospace about every month or so. I installed mine in half a day, took seats out and made it so much easier as it allowed me to get a tighter better fitting fit and finish. I went a step further and added heated seats and Toyota style hi and low buttons in the dash for a nice OEM look and the lighted switches match the dash lights. They were $100 on Amazon and have been great! You cannot tell they are covers and and for half the cost of Katskins its a no brainier plus I think they are more comfortable and yes I have compared the two.

    PVC if you're more on a budget, also PVC isn't as soft as real leather. I have the PVC version in my truck and my dad has the leather version in his. Even though the PVC isn't as soft it seems more durable then the leather one. Both look and fit great, you won't be disappointed in either one.

    I have "Leather" Clazzios and although they're nice, the seating surface is leather, but the bolsters are vinyl. I'm not happy, as the edge has worn from sliding into the seat. I was under the impression that they were 100% leather. These were a gift, so I'll have to deal with it. Be advised.

    i have leather inserts. i knew bolsters were plastic but did not expect them to crack. i have it five years with 8k miles on it - very low use. i use it about 2 days a week. i condition once a year.
    i noticed wrinkles near stitching on drivers seat but paid it no mind - not to be a whiner. it did not crack there. it cracked on the very visible plastic bolster. they looked good but i personally don't think they hold up - unless i got a dog - but way out of warranty regardless of light use. i am not a huge fan at this point. and it cracked in the summer. always garaged.
    i'm using duct tape to hopefully keep 3 inch crack from getting bigger.

    I would think you need to condition them more. My driving time is about the same as yours 3k miles a year and I condition them about once a month or more. No issues what so ever.

    my use is less than 2K/yr. once a month would be every 10 times i use the truck. i am rounding conservatively. not to war with you but that is absurd.
    i looked briefly on classio site and it is very different than when i bought 5 yrs ago, but i don't recall, and don't see now, any guidelines for vinyl care. maybe i missed it.
    Once a year has always worked for me with other similar covers (bmw, gmc/chevy, ford/mercury, nissan), admittedly factory installed.
    the reality is i do it occasionally more than once a year, but once a year is for sure.
    i have no problem with the leather. it is holding up fine.

    100% satisfied with my Clazzio leather covers.

    Easier to clean with dogs involved, and do help class up the interior of the truck.

    Prior to this, I used Bartact, because i had experience with that company with my JK. Bartact makes great stuff, but pulling it out to clean was an absolute PITA. Much easier to pull out of the JK, for some reason.
