dynamicmustangt 05-11-2008, 02:47 AM oh... also try leather wipes or creme, found at any auto parts store/walmart
cavediver 05-11-2008, 06:56 AM The best thing is to use a good leather conditioner on a regular basis. Meguair's make a good one and so does Turtle Wax.

siberian.mist 05-11-2008, 11:59 AM i hate armor all products but their leather care i love. it conditions it and leaves a nice protective coating on the leather. i would also go with window tints and park it out of the sun whenever possible

Whistle 05-11-2008, 12:37 PM I have used the Meguires wipes and the lube that comes in a bottle. THey seemed alright, but I really like Zaino's Z10. I just tried it for the first time yesterday.
In the end though they do end up fading and getting crackly and wrinkly. Nothing last forever....but taking good care of it should help them last as long as possible!

Orion_240 05-12-2008, 03:07 AM to keep them perfect just get covers.
If you'd actually like to feel them then the best thing is to never bring food or beverages (other than water) into the car.
Plus a good interior spray once in a while. Don't waste too much money on leather cleaner. Only the center part that you sit on is real leather.

300GT 05-12-2008, 09:46 AM Zaino's - great protection and it smell's awesome.
sowaxeman 05-12-2008, 10:02 AM I use Lexol - two different bottles, one is cleaner and the other is the protectant. I use it on my S-281 and love it. I use on the D.D. Cadillac and have used it for years on various company rides.

Gun Metal, go to Checker, Shucks or Kragen, depending on which one is near you (they are all the same company) and pick up the Lexol cleaner and Lexol conditioner sprays. AMAZING!!!!!!!! My red leather started cracking and I started using those and it feels and looks like brand new every time I use them. I used to use meguires wipes but they are nothing compared to lexol stuff.

No worries. The site actually becomes even more worth while once you do the actual workshop.

MELLOWYELLOW06 05-12-2008, 12:43 PM Thanks bro and as far as the dirt, I need to get a toothbrush to clean the mess the drifting created on my car. But it sure was worth it;):D. Thanks for noticing the wheels and you gottas show up one of these days man. Its been a while.
Scotts197GT 05-13-2008, 06:53 AM I was reading through my Mustang owners manual last night and came across a section on leather seat care/cleaning. Ford specifies that leather cleaning/conditioning product should NOT be petroleum-based.
I wonder now how many of the product's mentioned in this post are not petroleum-based.
