On saturday, i applied some Turtle Wax emerald leather treatment to my seats and it made them all nice and shiny. I was just wondering who else has applied some sort of leather treatment to their seats and how often should i apply it. I got the car in October so its probably unnecessary to do it so soon, but i figured, why wait?

 

Murphy's Oil with warm water. I believe i'ts the best. It cleans and treats. It will leave it looking natural. Not shiny like you just used Armorall and end up looking like Vinyl.

 

Here's some good reading for ya!!

I picked up some Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner some time back and did it once (sometime in November). In a word it was GREAT, my seats were starting to look a little used. (bought car in June).

After I put the conditioner it felt smooth and soft... but not too soft and it look good too.. not shiney ... good. The best comparision I can say is ... it had the look and shine of furniture quality leather.

Prior to this I had tried Meguires ... but was not too satisfied.

Also, do we need to apply different type of cleaner/conditioner to the not-quite leather sides of the seat?

Anybody using 303? Any comments? Thanx

[ edit ] What about temperature restrictions, I thought < 50 degrees the leather wouldn't accept the conditioner? Please correct me if wrong.

 

Hey thankx everyone! :p I've also read that the temperature is important. The warmer the seating surface is, the better. This allows the treatment to soak in better?

 

Thanks juniorbean!!

 

I use 303. I wrote the post on the CL board. It works very well for me. My car is a garage queen, work from home, so I can't give opinions on how it holds up in the sun.

I don't think temperature matters with applying protectant or cleaner. Because our leather has a clearcoat-like coating, it doesn't absorb into the pores of the leather.

 

Do you use 303 on the entire seat leather and pleather? How long do you go between applications? Thanx

 

I do it about once every couple of months. I do the entire seat, 303 is good for everything. I also use it for the dash, doors, plastic trim.

If I could get it in a 500 gallon bucket, I'd just dunk my car in it.

 

LOL

I think I'll just have to pick me up some buckets of that stuff
