Hey guys just wondering how everyone takes care of there leather interior. This is the first vehicle I have ever had with leather. Have always been a fan of cloth until now, I absolutely love the leather but was wondering if there is anything special that needs to be done to it or for it. Any help would be great.

 

Mothers makes a really good cleaner for leather, makes it shine like new. I used to use it on my first car even when it wasnt dirty just to get that shine.

 

I agree with Hanson... I don't have leather but the wife to be's POS jetta (I HATE jettas... always something wrong with them) does... any decent company like mothers or meguires has leather cleaner/ conditioner... the conditioner is the important part (just ask any woman), making the leather soft and shiney, keeping it moisturized and from cracking.

 

Thanks for the help guys I will get some this week.

Remember that the factoryleather on most American cars has a vinyl coating on it, so you really don't have to use the special leather products. You can use any sort of upholstery cleaner to clean it. I have a Chrysler 300M with leather seats. I vacuum the crevices thoroughly and clean with a damp cloth. About twice a year I will apply Griot's vinyl dressing, let it sit for a few minutes, and then wipe off any excess with a clean cloth. This car sits out in the sun every day, and the seats still look like new.

 

Personally - I like Meguires their product is great. I use it on my Wife's car, my bike and the truck. I am kind of **** about my toys (I always figured it is easier and cheaper to maintain than to replace), so I use it every two weeks. Stay away from anything that is amonia based as it will dry up the leather.

 

Well I went to wally world and they only had the Meguires and armor all leather care. I picked up the Meguires and will give it a try this weekend. Thanks again.
