Anything leather other than seats?

Quick question: I am thinking of using Meguiar's Supreme Shine protectant on my interior. Can I use this on everything except the Boston leather seats? Basically is there anything else in the interior that's real leather, that I shouldn't use this product on?

The door inserts are leather. The back seat side panels have this same leather insert. And the shift boot.

Depending on the year the center armrest is also leather.

It is a mater of tasse but if you did not apply it yet, I would think twice: I used it on my 08 VW R32 and hated it because it was so shiny and greasy, removed everything during 2 hours. I would recommend a good leather cleaner and a conditioner like Zaino. I usually like Meguiars but definitely not for at product

So for a 2012, is the center armrest leather? Or the armrests on the doors (not the insert)?

They were leather in early builds. This was changed around 2010

Well I already applied it. I think it looks pretty good. I ended up applying it to the door inserts and shift boot. Will this product harm the leather in any way?
