Leather care

I was hanging out at the parts department of my local dealer one day and noticed they had a Ford leather cleaning/conditioning kit. They offered me a good deal on it because it was just collecting dust. I've been using that for roughly a year. The kit comes with a bottle of stuff and a sponge. Just dampen the sponge with water and add a bit of the conditioner, rub it on, then buff off with a towel.

If anyone's interested I'll try to dig up the box with the proper name/Ford part #.
 
It seems like I read somewhere our seats have a "clear coat" sealer and that nothing more than a damp rag would be needed to clean and condition them. I could be wrong.

In the owners manual it does say this.. I have used the lexol clean and then condition. Leather will still need something to prevent it from drying and cracking. does anyone remember when their seats didn't have all the crease lines? :coolman:

That's called "patina". You don't get that overnight.:cool4:
 
My dad use to make leather belts and other things as a hobby and he always used saddle soap as the cleaner and Neet's foot oil for the conditioner. I have used the stuff and have been happy with the results. You can get it online or at tractor supply. Of course the leather on the seats is different from the leather he was using but it still works and looks good.
 
Armor all sucks,any leather cleaner and conditioner will do imo,spray on ,then i hand rub it in to cover area completely and let sit over nite and wipe off ....

I put the conditioner on about 6 times a year. The creases are inexcapable, so I boutht new seat covers while they are still available. By 150000 miles I will switch out new for old.
