    Leather Care/Interior Care Questions

    Hello,
    I have 2013 Charge with Leather seats that are heated and cooled, so there are little holes( hope this makes sense)

    So what do I use to care for the seats?

    Then what do I use for the dash?


    1 more question...My friend just got a used Harley with saddle bags. Any ideas as to what to use on the leather bags?

    I have perforated leather

    Make sure you apply leather products to the applicator instead of directly to the seat, so the product doesn't clog the holes

    I like PoorBoys Leather Stuff

    The new Mothers Leather Stuff, available OTC is OK


    I clean mine with a damp MF towel. They never get too dirty

    What you sue on the dash is dependent on what type of finish you want

    I like mine total matte, so I use Meguiar's Interior Quik Detail Spray

    I have used Blackfire. It is nice and not too shiny


    It's a personal preference thing


    From what I understand, modern windshields do a very good job of blocking UV, so UV protection is not a major concern. It is heat that does the damage

    My preference is Meguiar's leather sealer system. It comes with a cleaner and a sealer to seal the leather. It does not leave the leather looking all greasy. You can pick it up here on AGO or locally at autozone.

    I use the Leather Masters kit; cleaner is a foam & the protectant is a matte finish. Both work well on perf seats & the steering wheel. Megs QID is for the dash, along with Natural Shine.

    Mizz, have you used the Ultima on fabrics as well as leather? (Geez, the price is so much less than LM foam cleaner)

    I use Sonax leather foam safe on all leather very easy and fast to use. I've been using for over 3 years on all my customers cars and they like the way it looks and feels. If you don't like I'll buy the bottle from you.
