Hey Guy's, This is the first time I've ever had leather interior, what works best to wipe it down when cleaning ? Dash is also leather. Thanks

I use Adam’s leather cleaner and their leather conditioner and love the smell. It smells like a new baseball mitt.

Truth is, all your leather is coated in a form of plastic, so there's no particular reason to go crazy with leather specific products as the natural leather is sealed underneath. Many professional detailers use Meguiars Xpress spray wax on all interior surfaces. I do have quite a few leather conditioners that I use specifically for the new leather smell, like Griot's, smartleather (chemical guys), and duragloss and zaino. But ultimately all you want is some form of UV protection, a non-greasy finish, and perhaps lasting visual enhancement. Most any water-based interior protectant will do you just fine. I use 303 aerospace protectant or one of a few Meguiars interior dressings depending on the level of shine I'm looking for, or Meguiars Xpress Spray Wax (fantastic product for so many uses) for a nice matte water repellant surface.

The most important care for leather is keeping dirt out of the seams with regular vacuuming and keeping them clean with an automotive all-purpose/interior cleaner.

I used zaino's products for quite a while. Tried Adam's line of leather cleaning products and was just as pleased. Love the fresh leather smell.

Mother's all-in-one Leather Care works great for me. I use it on just about all the interior, plastic parts as well.

Wolfgang products are amazing and so is the 303 aerospace protectant. I wouldn't go back to OTC products after using these. I have heard good things about Griot and used a few of there products.

I've used Lexol for grimier interiors, but Adams or Mothers interior works well for standard cleaning.

Lexol reminds me of Llama spit. bleck.. I am hooked on Adam's leather care products. Especially the new stuff they got that smell's great.
