    Cleaning & Conditioning Seats

    Whats the best thing to use to clean the seats in our trucks? Whats the best leather conditioner to use? I don't want 3000 little cracks in my front seat nor do I want to damage them by using something im not supposed to.

    Good question. I was always under the impression that with leather comes the millions of little cracks and wrinkles in the material.

    I haven't even cleaned them yet...I wonder if Mothers leather condition would be a good idea? I know the king ranch's have a special cleaner/conditioner to use but those seats are like ball gloves so..

    i used Meguiar's Gold Class leather cleaner/conditioner in a spray on my benz 2 days ago.

    I shat you not the color started to come off the leather ON CONTACT. Barely noticeable but surpising to say the least. I continued to gently use it and it worked OK. It was on the high-wear areas that it did it. This is the first time I've noticed it and I've used this spary once before.
    Mind you the benz has 117k on the clock, and front seats.


    Next I'm going to pick up some Zymol - the cleaner and the conditioner. I've read some good things about it - but I've also heard it takes the most elbow grease to use.

    You could always try some berries and juices harvested from the past 17 years in Zamunda

    if you're in a pinch and want some stuff local and quick, the turtle wax leather cleaner/conditioner is actually half decent. i used that stuff for the 1st two years i had my truck and was very pleased.

    been using zaino for the past 5 years though on the leather. works INCREDIBLE. my seats are 7 years old and i've seen some trucks that are a year or two old with seats more worn looking than mine. very slight leather scent, dries so its not greasy, leaves a nice brand new looking sheen to the leather. by far one of my most favorite Z products. even if you dont use their polish, its worth it to use their leather goodies

    Light leather scent LOL....Zaino smells just like leather and pretty strong IMO...but I love that smell of fresh leather!!!!....after I finished up that bottle Tx Harley Guy sent me the Leather only stuff....I swear they are the same thing LOL....

    The Zaino Leather cleaner is great stuff too now that does have a faint leather smell to it....I still have bout half a bottle of that left..
