Just scored a 09 SH-AWD with beautiful, brown leather. I've seen how these seats can rip/tear and just wondering what's the most successful products in keeping the leather/vinyl in good shape. Thanks!
Leather is sealed so using conditioners won't do much. Wipe down regularly with a damp cloth and you'll be set. If you need to clean use Lexol leather cleaner or diluted woolite solution 10 parts water 1 part woolite
Just keep it clean and use some sort of interior dressing on it. Leather conditioner is preferred, but any dressing should do fine as long as it is decent quality. You may want to avoid getting a petroleum dressing, it might not be good for the plastic coating. Not sure. Might want to look into that one.
So is leatherique bad for this type of leather? I feel like there's conflicting views. I bought some but now I'm afraid to use it.
Leatherique won't do anything on our leather as it's sealed. If the leather is dirty, their Pristine Clean product works great! Otherwise any conditioning you put on the seats will never soak through as there is a barrier sealing the leather.
You really don't need the expensive stuff. Walmart sells a variety of mequiar's leather cleaners. The best for the interior is Natural shine by mequiar's, I won't use anything but that for the interior. Non greasy it's awesome
