06/ 07 Ford King Ranch

Im doing an 06 or 07 King Ranch tomorrow. Im pretty sure the leather isnt coated. So what can I use to clean and condition it?

Are there any other things I need to know about before starting?

Cousin uses the Ford Leather product available at the dealership, its specifically made for the King Ranch leather, quite a few people on truck forums have had issues with almost any other product for some reason, mainly staining. I think Duragloss actually makes the product for Ford?

I think the leather is coated, its just a different color/texture. Wouldnt any untreated leather get all torn up and gross on seats?

and have heard the same thing. In fact you may want to talk with Ford b/c it seems like I heard that part of their warranty may be tied to using the Ford leather stuff. I've also heard that Duragloss makes the product for Ford.

King Ranch Leather is uncoated....basically pure leather, so comfy when broken in. The leather stuff Ford has for it is made specifically for that leather and it does work great.

And yes, they will deny any warrenty work or anything to do with the leather if they test and find out you were using a product other then what they designed for it. Some products have had bad effects on the leather, can't just slap on any cleaner/conditioner.

I guess I can just vacuum the seats, then use slightly damp microfiber to clean them.

The wheels are coated right?
