Just purchased a 2021 GT2, ceramic gray with red interior. What do y’all use to clean the interior?

I have used Maguire (may have mis spelled) leather conditioner. Said its good on color but aslo advised to test on a small area. And good leather conditioner or soap or what have you will do.

It is a kia so new seats in ~5 years will be cheap. (I hope)

Howdy. Distilled water on a terrycloth rag/towel: just enough moisture to take the grimy spot down.

Common misconception in the use of a leather conditioner...YES good for older & worn leather, but all new vehicles with leather interior, the leather has a clear coat applied after the colour dye. So any leather conditioner wouldn't pernitrate the leather pores.

And yet, the seats feel softer after coating them. I guess that's placebo.

To ensure the red stays vibrant, I gently massage in blood into the Napa Leather. Good color match.

smells bad in the heat of summer tho…. And don’t wear white.
