Why clean & condition your car's leather?
Leather is an expensive material, so it makes sense to keep it maintained. When you clean and condition your car's leather, you can help to extend the life of your car's interior leather, keeping it soft and supple instead of cracked or faded. It also protects against spills, dirt, and other grime that can damage the material over time—stains will stay on the surface instead of seeping deep into the leather. This type of conditioning can also help add a layer of protection from UV rays. This helps with any fading that may happen over time due to direct sunlight exposure while you're driving or parking outside.
How to clean and protect your car’s interior leather
If you're looking for a way to keep your car's interior looking clean and new, leather cleaner is the answer. Apply leather cleaner with a cloth to gently remove dirt, dust, and food particles. Then, use a leather conditioner to add a layer of protection to your vehicle’s leather surfaces. This ensures that dirt won't be able to adhere as easily and won't dry out over time due to heat exposure or age.
Different Types of Car Leather Cleaners & Conditioners
Maintaining the interior leather in your car can be a tough job—there are all kinds of leather cleaners and conditioners out there, but which one is right for your car?
Cleansers – Leather cleansers are designed to get rid of dirt and debris, and don't usually contain any moisturizing agents or conditioners. Use these to get rid of ground-in mud stains, food spills, and other blemishes.
Conditioners – Leather conditioners help to keep your leather in top shape by moisturizing it, making it more pliable, and adding a layer of protection against wear-and-tear. They come in either oil or water-based formulas, so choose the one that best suits your car's needs. You'll want to apply conditioner at least once or twice every year, depending on how often you use your car—this will prevent cracking and other damage from occurring over time.
