Leather Interior Cleaning
303 protectorant is a better alternative to the normal oily treatments. It dries pretty much clear, leaves a matte finish, doesn't attract dust and has a good deal of UV blockers. Many premium vinyl products used outside like hottub covers, RV awnings and bed covers recommend it's use. I use it on any plastic, rubber part, and my headlight lense covers (clear after many a mile). Try it on your windshield wiper blades - you'll be impressed, especially in the winter as ice/snow seems to not build-up on the treated blades.
Never heard of the stuff, where do you buy it? Walmart, Autozone?

I use the dish soap/water mix with a sponge. Then I treat the leather with baseball glove oil. Specifically a product called Hot Glove. It is designed to put your ball glove in the oven for 20 minutes. I get about the same result by leaving the car in the sun on a hot Southern day. I have used this stuff for 15 or 20 years and have never had anything but good luck with it. I have even been able to bring back severley weathered leather seats. In between soap/water and oiling treatments I use meguires wipes.
I use the McGuire's conditioner for the first pass. I do not put it on the perforated part because, as mentioned before buffing it out of the holes is a pain. The creme has a flat finish. Next I run over my seats witht he McGuire's wipes. THese work well on the perforated parts and leeave a glossy shine. I let them air dry for a bit and then wipe with a clean terry cloth.
Next I take the car out and zing around some corners. Sliding all about the seats around corners is an indication that the seats are well conditioned. :-)
