What do you guys use to clean your leather seats? I've been using armor all, but it doesn't really clean them to good, Mine are getting dirty and I'm wondering what will clean them.

Either Lexol or Meguiars leather cleaner and conditioner. Do NOT use Armorall on anything even your dash. It has a petroleum base and can do a lot more harm than good.
For your trim Meguiars NXT Protectant or Mothers protectant.

I thought Armorall did away with the petroleum crap awhile back?

Either way, I'd still stay away from the majority of their products, some of their stuff is ok but you can do better.

Correct Armor All Original is water based NOT petroleum base. You want a cheap cleaner head to wally world, Target, ect,ect and pick up some Woolite original (white bottle) and mix a 8:1 mix with water. It will clean leather, your dash, and your carpet. Just wipe down your interior with h2o to remove any left over soap and apply your protectant.

Todays leather seats have a "clear coat" on them. You need a leather cleaner protector for this type of leather or it will wont pentrate and stay on top of the clear coat. I like Clearkotes leather cleaner protector.Just spray on a microfiber applicator and rub onto the seat, let it set for 2 or 3 minutes and buff off any remaining product. Reclean every 3 months.

Jonw440 I just noticed you're a vendor. Do you give autopia or detailcity members discounts by any chance? Also is that a Euro Sheep skin wash mitt you got there?
