Any good tips or info for how to care for leather seats in your car?

Question

I've been trying to find tips & info about how to care for your leather seats & interior in your car, however I haven't found really anything.

I know how to clean them, but as far as conditioning them & doing other things to help make them last, I don't even know where to start.

What leather cleaners & conditioners do you recommend? Where can I buy them? What tips & techniques do you suggest that I use to help improve & or maintain the quality & condition of my leather interior?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Leather conditioners come in at least two types. Older leather conditioners had oils to soften and protect the leather. Newer conditioners are synthetic. Both work fine. Go to an auto parts store and get a good quality brand like Mothers or Maguiers. I have found that letting the leather get warm (from the sun) before applying seems to help it absorb the conditioner. Don't wait until your leather starts to get hard and cracked before applying the product.
