What is the best product to keep leather clean and prevent cracking??

How often do you rub it down??

 

Meguiar's is usually a good way to go. They have a Gold Class Rich Leather Aloe Cleaner for cleaning and a Gold Class Rich Leather Aloe Conditioner for preventing cracking. They also have a few other leather products you might be interested in. Check out their website.

cool, ill give it a try. thanks

 

I have used Mother's Gold for years. They have a leather cleaner and conditioner that works well.

 

Lexol products have always worked great for me.

 

Never used anything but Lexol, even in home products, works extremely good.

I've tried Meguiar's for the Maxima, way too shiny for my taste, I prefer the matte look Lexol gives.

 

i do some detailing work for bmw, and they used lexol leather cleaner and conditioners which work very well, and ive used meguiars at home..both work very well. as to how often to apply it, depends on how many times you get in and out of your car per day, and how long the car sits in the sun. id say once every 2 weeks is a good rule of thumb. more often wouldn't hurt though..i keep leather wipes in my trunk for the occasional coffee spill or whatever.

 

I use this from Meguiars

excellent stuff, probably use every couple months, I use my car for work so I get in and out many times, leather looks great, has the lines in it that you can't prevent but I always just cover the front seats in it and do the backs every 6 months, tinted windows really help, my car in the sun is hot, my fathers ES350 in the sun feels like Im sitting in a boiler room

 

I use a damp microfiber cloth in a cleansing solution, like water and a little bit of APC cleaner or soap. Dry and apply a good conditioner, like zymol, meguiars, or whatever you prefer.

 

I swear by Lexol - when I traded in my '01 Maxima the leather looked near-new. I cleaned and conditioned only maybe 3-4 times per year - enough to keep at bay the effects of both extreme heat and cold. I'll never use anything else.
