Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions for cleaning Specifically frost leather interior seats preferably something that's a good clean/protection makes it look good but not greasy. I've seen multiple products that offer this just looking for suggestions from z owners.

I'll get back to you on this when I'm not getting ready to sleep. I use some kind of leather conditioner every year before I store the car for the winter. I like it, but for the life of me I can't remember the exact name of it.

I use Lexol for cleaning, Zymol for conditioning. Meguiars Quik Deailer with my weekly washes.

Clean > Protect > Touch up. I've read that you shouldn't use the cleaners so often, so I do so every few months.

Just got the car and it wasn't properly detailed so i am not worried about over cleaning. Will cleaning leather to often cause fading?

Using a cleaner too much will draw all of the moisture out of the leather, causing it to crack, fade, altogether just deteriorate faster.

Shouldn't really use cleaner more than once a year unless absolutely needed. Most of the conditioners contain a small amount of cleaner anyway to handle the everyday stuff.

Thread moved to the correct seciton:

I normally use a very light conditioner and someone turned me onto this stuff which I use every few months to keep the suppleness of the leather
