It is important that this interior leather gets the loves and care it deserves, especially considering you would have paid a premium to have it in the first place.
With that in mind, its best to ensure that your leather car seats & trims are kept in a good clean condition and protected, to avoid it getting into a damaged shabby state that could devalue your vehicle (and also let the overall finish down).
Cleaning & conditioning your car leather seats should be done regularly and to be included into your car cleaning routine. This will ensure that your clean car leather seats are maintained whilst keeping them supple and protected.

How to clean your car leather seats and trims:
Step 1
- It's obvious but important, Vacuum! Make sure you clean up all the loose dirt and debris, get in there on the seams, nooks and crannies of your seats and leather trims. Make sure any debris is removed from the leather before you begin to use the cleaner in the next step.
Step 2 - Using the Car Leather Seat & Upholstery Cleaner.
- Apply solution directly to the leather
- Using a clean cloth, preferably a microfiber cloth. Wipe over the surface of the leather in circular motions
- Work thoroughly into any stained or dirt trapped areas.
- Repeat as necessary to remove any tough dirt deposits
Step 2 - Using the Car Leather Seat Conditioning Balm. (Always spot test before use, to check desired effect)
- Apply the balm to a clean cloth or sponge.
- Using a circular motion, rub the balm into the leather surface, working one area at a time
- Leave for a few minutes for the leather to absorb the balm oils
- Then gently buff with a clean cloth
Repeat both cleaning and conditioning depending on how often your car leather seats are used, made dirty and exposed to a hot sunny climate. We recommend doing at least once a month for a professional clean leather interior.
