Washing / Cleaning leather and interior

[pquadro]

Hi

Planning to give the car a good clean and wanted to know what are the do and don'ts / how the fellow BoXa members do it.

Do you use a dust wipe? Do you use warm water? Any specific leather products?

Thanks!

Gave up on chamois leathers on the body of the car years ago, so use a chamois soaked in warm water and wringed out on the car interior.

I use Auto Glym Leather cleaner and conditioner on the seats and the door cards - i have full leather interior

I need to get some black dye to sort the seats out next though.

I heard about auto gly but also Leatherique, ever tried that one?

What's your process? One pass and let dry for a bit, then wipe?

I use Dr. Leather and a micro fibre cloth.

i find it very good, cleans well, no stickiness afterwards, smells nice.

i have I used it on the plastics too, and it does a good job there too.

Depends on condition of leather, if in reasonable condition they should be sealed and just require a vac and wipe down with mild soap and water.  In general leather conditioners should only be required on worn seats.
