I have the red leather seats in my 06 GT, and ive been having problem cleaning then conditioning them. The stuff i use always removes some "red" from the leather! i stopped using it, and haven't tried any other brands sense cause i don't know if it'll do the same. ive used bluemagic cleaner/conditioner and armor all leather care. My question is what can i use to clean and restore my seats without damaging them? and also how often should you use cleaner? is too often a bad thing?...im wondering cause my driver seat is slightly dirty from work(bought seat covers now).

I have alittle wear/slight cracking occurring on the front seats. little over 30,000miles on the car. it that normal?

 

for cleaning, i like saddle soap. you can get it at walmart or somewhere in the shoe care section. its basically a leather cleaner. it will take a while to apply it properly but it will make the leather much cleaner and softer. after you do this for the first time, i always use meguiars leather conditioner for week to week stuff. i have also heard good stuff about lexol but never used it.

 

If you have the money to spend its not cheap but Leatherique works wonders on new and older leather seats. It puts the natural stuff back into the leather and won't take the color out like other cleaners will. I've used it just today again on my 94 gt seats that were cardboard hard in spots and its starting to bring them back to their softness. Other than that I;ve used lexol, zaino leather cleaner and conditoner and the meguiars leather stuff. Saddle soap had been known to remove the color so I would stay away from that. If you have any questions let me know.

 

I'm going to try some lexol next. i called a local upholstry shop about my situation, he says thats all they use at their shop. sounded like he knew what i was talking about
