What product do you use to take care of seats?

[Unique]

Obviously the driver seat is being used the most. How do you take care of it? I want to start putting some product on it (if I need to) to make sure it stays the way it is now (brand new) and not get any stretched leather marks or anything else. Just wondering what everyone uses? I'm assuming it'll be some sort of spray + wipe down?

I use The chemical guys cleaner/conditioner once a month, and AutoGlym cleaner and Leather Balm twice a year, for a deeper treatment

Modern car leather does not need conditioner per say since they are fully sealed from factory. You sit more on a layer of polymer which cannot really be conditioned. Conditioning used to be done on unsealed leather (which can absorb the product) which have not been used in the car industry for a while.


Ideal process is to use a cleaner / degreaser to remove the oil and contaminants form the surface. After that use a protector (not a conditioner) to protect from UV etc.

You can use the Chemical guys products as RedCal mention but I would take :

Chemical Guys Leather Cleaner Color Less & Odor Less Super Cleaner |

Leather Serum Protectant | Chemical Guys

Leather Serum is a unique protectant that restores a soft supple feel to leather and protects against fading from harsh UV rays and light stains from normal use.

Yep leather conditioner/balm on modern car leather is useless and a waste of money. Also, you wont be able to keep it looking brand new without stretch marks unless you mothball the car and never drive it.
