Leather Cleaning/Conditioning
Hi Folks. Just thought I'd share my experience. I recently bought Gloss-It Leather Cleaner and the Satin Leather Polish. It was @ $40 for both bottles, which included a cleaning pad. On a recent 40 degree day, having left the product inside my house to prevent it from freezing, I thought I would give it a go. My seats weren't that dirty to start. I found the product easy to use and provided a decent finish. I would caution, when cleaning, to not scrub too hard near the stitching or higher worn areas. I'm unsure if the stitching was weak to begin with, but I could see small indications of the stitching becoming "weakened" in a couple of small areas. In addition to decent cleaning, the scent is just subtle enough to be pleasant and not overpowering.

I use "chemical guys". 2steps, the cleaner then the lotion which I love.. The scent smells like new leather or actual new car smell. I used it on friends cars to show off alil and they LOVED it aswell

Good feedback. I had my steamer out yesterday, so just steamed the passenger seat quickly. Lifts quite a bit of dirt, and zero chemicals.

I bought a bottle of Leatherique Prestine Clean and the Rejuvenator about a year ago, still haven't used them yet. Heck, I've sold the car I originally bought them for. Maybe I'll use them on the X at some point. I'm sure it could use it...

I can't believe I haven't thought of this... So did you just make a few passes and wipe the seat dry with a cloth? I'm definitely going to try this!

Exactly. You can either blow the steam directly on there, then wipe. Or wrap the head of the steamer in a microfiber, and use that to clean the seats. Then follow up with some type of conditioner.

My brother has an odd combination on his '12: Comfort/active/ventilated seats with synthetic (not leather).
