What should I use to clean and protect interior leather and panels?

I have a 2014 Lexus IS250 with red leather seats. What should I use to clean and protect the leather seats and panels?

I just reviewed this and after two weeks is seems to be holding up pretty well.

Review - Chemical Guys Leather Protectant Serum (https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/product-reviews/109026-review-chemical-guys-leather-protectant-serum.html)

I use Meguiar's D181 Leather Cleaner to clean leather. There are quite a few options for a leather cleaner.

If you want to go above and beyond then I'm a big fan of cquartz leather coating

I like Meguiars APC at 1:10 dilution for cleaning, with a short bristle stiff nylon brush. Really stubborn or really dirty seats might need a 1:4 dilution, it's safe on coated leather. I like the Chemical Guys leather serum as well. I also really like the Pinnacle Black Label leather and vinyl coating.

I use the Leather Masters kit with good results.

Real nasty= APC
Not bad= Four Star Leather Cleaner

I use 303 Aerospace 3 in 1 leather to keep my leather bits clean and conditioned. Its easy to use, dried quickly and leaves behind a nice scent as well.

Give it a try and you'll be glad you did!

ultima interior gel.Then ultima interior guard.Apc on colored soft thin leather is not advisable.Even at a low dilution color may come off.

What about plastics and the dash? Looking for something that is clean, average to low luster, and not greasy or will attract dust.

Whats the difference in this leather serum and a conditioner? I got the CG leather cleaner and a conditioner, but wondered about the serum.

Maybe give the new Gyeon product a go.

I have been liking GTechiniq C6 Matte Dash lately. Low dust attraction and of course a matte finish.

I recently tried out the Pinnacle Black Label leather cleaner and conditioner and it was astounding. Cleaner was a bit light, but if the car is in very good shape it is probably best to use a light cleaner. The conditioner worked perfectly, making it simply look/feel like new without any extra gunk or slipperiness. I just wiped it on and that was it, didn't even have to go back over it to even things out. It's been a few weeks now and leather is still just as nice as it was when I applied it.

Can't speak for the vinyl on the panels though. I had owned a 2015 is350. Do you have the perforated leather seats? Those were a nightmare to keep clean with my sisters baby around. I had tried a Meguiars conditioner and it would get gunked up in the perfs and left that particular leather a bit too shiny.


I also really like the Pinnacle Black Label leather and vinyl coating.

Chemical Guys Silk Shine.

And I have at least a dozen other competitive products, Silk Shine is still my favorite. Low luster, non greasy, does not attract or hold dust.

I've got a half dozen different leather cleaners and protectants, for an all in one I really like this Sonax. It foams up really nicely and does a great job.
