Leather seats

[Kenadian]

Hey, I just purchased an Explorer with the leather seats. Not ever having leather I was hoping I could get some tips and advice on keeping them looking new. Thanks.

Is the car brand new or new to you?

What condition is the leather currently in?

I'm guessing brand new.... If so at first all you need to do to maintain is wipe w/ a slightly damp microfiber cloth and then follow up w/ a dry microfiber cloth. Non linting microfiber.. invest in a few good MF towels


If leather is older I would suggest Using Leatherique Prisine Clean and Leatherique Rejuvinator oil

I use Leatherique on my Audi seats and it works awesome, that being said,I also live in Florida, so I'm able to roll up the windows and let it sit in the sun for 8hours, it works the best in warmer climates.

Based on someone elses post in another thread Im going to try out Meguiars D180 and D181 leather cleaners. One is a combo product and the other is just a cleaner, heard good things about them so you may want to consider them as a option too.

It is brand new, thanks for the tips

^ The above tips are good info. Keep them clean and conditioned.

Do not get discouraged when some creases or lines start to show up though, especially on the driver's seat. It is leather, and will develop worn spots - there's just nothing you can do about them unless you don't ever sit in the seat. *Note: I did not say "cracks" - cracks are a sign of dried up, improperly cared for leather.

Enjoy your new ride!

Clean them very well, wipe them down with distilled water, and USA a protective coating type product that also has UV protection. The 3 I know of are CarPro Fabric & Leather, G Tech L1, and the new Meg's Leather Sealant set.

This will offer you the best protection. I would skip AIO type products and conventional "conditioners".

I'm looking to pick up the GTECH L1 myself for my new leather as well as clients w/ new cars that want a leather treatment

Swanic not to hijack this thread but were you overall impressions w/ the carpro F & L?
