Leather seat care questions

[eyedrop]

I just bought a car with black leather seats that are already in like-new condition with no signs of use or wear.

Can I get away with just using an easy 3 in 1 spray product? I was thinking about picking up Meguiars G7214 Gold Class Leather Cleaner and Conditioner. Is this product alone adequate for the life of the leather, provided I stay on top of things? Or should I be using separate products and multi step process for proper maintenance?

I'm not interested in adding deeper color or shine to the seats. In fact, I prefer the seats to not have a shine or oily appearance. I want the OEM matte look and feel for the life of the car.

That Meguiars Leather Cleaner & Conditioner will work just fine for your situation, however it does leave a bit of a shine and darkens the leather quite a bit, especially if it’s black leather. So if you’re interested in something that doesn’t change the appearance of your leather, you might want to choose a different product.

Something like this Blackfire Leather Complete is a good 3 in 1 [cleans, conditions, protects] and it doesn’t change the look and feel of your leather in those ways you mentioned.

Optimum Leather Protectant was developed from the ground up for today's coated leather and vinyl. I just traded in an 07 VW Passant -- I always wiped the leather with a damp MF at each wash and used Optimum Leather Protectant every few months--the leather looked like new at trade in. Very simple to use and you can also use it on all the interior vinyl--it also includes a mild cleaner. Doesn't change the look of your leather and is not sticky or greasy.

Optimum Protectant Plus offers complete protection for interior leather, vinyl, plastic & rubber dressing. vinyl and rubber dressing, vinyl

Has anyone used these newer nano products for leather applications versus the products mentioned above? They were originally intended for leather coats (to repel water via beading, etc.) but now they are moving into applications for car leather and high end furniture leather. I would appreciate any experiences - pro or con. Thank you!

Been using McKess 37 AIO Leather lotion. Have to admit, it is impressive. Seats look great and also has a great leather scent.

Thanks Pro - That is a good lead.

Whats the difference the above vs. McKee's 37 Leather Shampoo 70/30 or the Mckees UV50? Trying to find a some new leather products!

I do not know the answer to your question Automoglo. I have been looking at the Leatherique Products recently and they look pretty good - reviews and all. I have a couch that could use some work as well.

My experience is, it's very important in discussing auto leather to state whether your dealing with coated or uncoated leather. Very different how I would approach the two.
