How do I take care of new car leather interior?

[davidhill]

I just bought a new Chevy Equinox with leather and I want to know what products if any to use to keep it looking great.

Leather once we see it is cured, treated, died, and pretty much sealed against most common liquids. General cleaning with mild soap and water usually is enough and then top with a leather conditioner or protectant.

I've been using a product called Lexol for years with great success and another product I like is Meguiar's M40.

My gf has a 05 Equinox with leather interior and I've used Lexol on it and 1Z einszett leather care both with great results.

Verify it's finished Leather (I'd bet half my mf towels) Check by placing a drop of water on it and see that it doesn't absorb.
Assuming it is do the following:
1.-Clean your leather good with Ultima Interior Shampoo. You can wipe it down with water after but don't have to.
Review: Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel
2.-Allow to completely dry
3.-Apply Ultima Interior Guard and walk away. Review: Ultima Interior Guard Plus (UIGP)
Every 2 or 3 months do these 3 steps again

Now that its properly cleaned and sealed
Heres the best thing you can do:
Wipedown with clean wet cloth or mf ever week or two or as often as you can. This will help to keep dirt from rubbing away at the protective finish over the years.

Probably the most important thing you can do once you decide upon a product line is to put your car's interior on a regular maintenance program versus waiting till it gets visibly dirty or the leather is cracking and then try to undo the damage.

A good general schedule is once a month, especially for any areas where your skin touches,

• Seats where your legs would touch is you're wearing shorts
• Any arm rests
• Steering wheel
• Door grabs

"Find something you like and use it often"


Or at least as often as required to meet your maintenance and appearance expectations.
