    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

    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 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.

    Review - Chemical Guys Leather Protectant Serum

    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.

    GYEON Q2M Preserve Review

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