    New car leather care

    What does everyone suggest for keeping new leather looking great. I tried Meg's leather cleaner and conditioner on a small section... No go for me way too greasy.
    Thanks

    Meguiar's New Leather Sealer System rocks!
    Easy to use and is a polymer protectant.

    Re: New car leather care

    I always tend to condition more often than I do full cleaning/conditioning (you must condition after every cleaning however you do not have to clean before every conditioning session), therefore I opt for separate products.

    I think your first step should be determining if you have finished leather, or something else. If it is unfinished, you must choose the appropriate product. If finished, leather products will not clean the coating as well as some others, such as Utima Interior Shampoo Gel with Utima Interior Guard as a protectant. I want to try Leather Masters. Also, heard good things about 1Z and Sonax.

    I believe it is a water drop test, but I am not a professional, just an enthusiast so I would wait for a "professional" answer. You could also search this forum or the Internet for "how to tell if leather is coated". I would be pretty sure that it is, as well. You have to go with über high-end cars (Rolls Royce, etc.) to have un-coated leather.

    Meguiar's Gold class cleaner/conditioner seems to be ok so far.
    Not like I have REAL leather anyways..

    Are you sure that the seats are all leather? Generally only the seating part ( where your behind goes) is leather,
