Hey guys:

Hope you meticulous CL luvvers have a good system for keeping the leather supple & good as new, cuz I just treated it with "Mother's", and it looks... eh?

How do you guys take care of you leather interior? How often? Any name brand products I should know about?

Also, if any of you have had problems with the stock CD player playing CD-Rs, check out my other post.

Thanks guys,

PS: 1genCL, if you're reading this, I hope your buddies pull through. I symapthize man, keep strong.

 

I once had a BMW with a white leather interior. Coach leather cleaner is great, one wipe & all the crap pretty much comes right off. Then the Coach leather moisturizer works well too.

I've also heard good stuff about Lexol (usually you can find it in an auto parts store... comes in a spray bottle), but I've never used it.

All my cars have cloth now.

 

Thanx RidinLow, I'll check out Lexol (although it sounds a bit like lol!) I just wanna keep them from cracking all to hell.

Just curious, did you buy cloth seats BECAUSE you used to have leather?

Cheers,

I use Meguiars leather stuff, and my seats look and feel brand new with 50Kmi.

 

I use Lexol, and it works great. You can get the Leather Cleaner, Leather conditioner, and Vinylex (for the plastic pieces) all for around $25.00. The bottles should last quite a while!

I clean the leather around 4 times a year, and condition the leather about very 2-3 months.

I've also heard that other people have used Zaino Leather products on their car, and they're very pleased with them. Check with dajuice27, he swears by Zaino.

 

Yeah, it's been 3 cars since I've had leather. It smells nice & cleans up easily, but it's too slippery in the corners, burns you in the summer, freezes you in the winter, scratches easily, and eventually looks nasty when it cracks. Plus cloth is cheaper.
