Any Recommendations on interior cleaning and leather seats?
I vacuum my car every other weekend, but i have never cleaned my leather seats on the overall interior of my brz. Im not a really fan of the armor car interior products because it leaves a glossy look that im not really into.
Anybody can recommend a good product to clean the interior of the car and to clean/maintain the leather of the seats? |

For cleaning I usually use 1z einszett cockpit premium. To maintain it even though the leather is coated I use four star leather conditioner but something like Lexol will also work. The alacantara is a different story and I vacuum it only but there are some dedicated cleaning products for it, I have one made by Sonax but just haven't tried it out yet.

Natural Care for the alcantara and Lexol for the leather.

You can use mineral oil for leather & vinyl (used to be a detailer's trick) but don't goop it on and after it seeps in wipe it off. Otherwise dust will stick to it. Mineral works great because it penetrates and doesn't have any bleaching agents like Armor All used to.

As a profitable detailer on the side, I use Meguiars Natural Shine for all vinyls and plastics. It cleans them up nice without leaving any glossy shine.. Just a natural clean appearance. I've tried many and this one seems to be a favorite among customers and in my own car. A trick I use is after applying with a microfiber, I will grab a second clean microfiber and wipe over what I just applied. Comes out spotless.
For leather, I typically use Lexol or Meguiars gold class leather conditioner after cleaning. |

I use Meguiares Interior Detailer and it's awesome. Wipes are the best. No shine, and it gets all the oils off the steering wheel and makes it grippy! Not sure if its the best for leather, but I love it for the dash and door panels and such.
