Leather Seats

[deff808]

How do you proplery clean them?

My driver side is getting pretty dirty, has a little lite brown shading almost . I'm the only one who rides in my truck. So i can see which seat is a dirty and not.

Thanks!

Leather cleaner...

but seriously, buy some leather cleaner/conditioner/shampoo from your local auto parts store, a couple microfiber type rags and have at it.

A leather cleaner/conditioner will work good. I do mine about once a month or two. I use Griot's interior cleaner on my steering wheel and shift knob. The leather feels a lot cleaner and softer after a cleaning. To clean them I got a rag and got it pretty wet with the cleaner/conditioner, and then just wiped it all down. You could see dirt and oil on the rag. Eew. Then I wiped it dry. Then I applied another coat of it, but didn't wipe it off. This will condition and protect the leather.

BTW, Never use anything oily on your steering wheel.

i guess maybe weekly is a little too often to do the seats. But since its a used car, and i don't know who's been sitting in it before me, i've cleaned the leather every week (two weeks) so far. I've been using Armor All leather conditioner in a spray bottle. I can see dirt coming off on the rag.
What is a reccomended non-oily leather cleaner for the steering wheel and shift knob?

I use interior cleaner from GriotsGarage.com, but I'll have to go to AutoZone and see what they have on the shelf because I know that most people don't want to order detailing stuff online.

Leatherique is the absolute pinnacle product of leather care. Just do a search for it on Autopia or something. I've never seen ANY product clean and restore leather so well.

Yeah, that's good stuff.

I used 9 to 1 water and woolite mix and a MF towel! Cleaned really well, I couldn't believe how dirty my leather was...the mixture was nasty..then I applied Meguiar's Rich Leather Aloe Conditioner...I was pleased with the results!

I got this idea doing a search on the web!

I've been very happy using Lexol for leather cleaning/protection, and you can find it in many auto parts/detailing stores.

if you leather seats are worn to the point you see those white cracks is it possible to restore it to like new?

i've been using mother's leather conditioner/cleaner and no luck =/
