What do you recommend for cleaning leather and vinyl

[city]

What do you recommend as the best leather/vinyl care/cleaner that will really make it look new and soft again?

[J!m]

You cannot use one product for both leather and plastic. It just isn't a good idea.

I use Vyniltex on plastic, and a damp cloth with a trace of soap on leather.

I've found the best solution is to keep it clean, rather than clean it. I do not allow any drinks other than water, no food of any kind, and absolutely NO SMOKING in the car.

I agree my interior is to nice to let something spill on it, I allow drinks, but no food, I keep my car ridiculously clean but Im looking to update my cleaning supplies for my car. aka new ideas on washing/waxing along with the interior products aswell. Im in the market to try something new

leatherique for leather, not leatherette... as for leatherette... you'd have to find out what the stuff is made out of. I don't think it's made out of any leather (like bonded leather is made)... so I wouldn't use leather products. Supposedly leather needs to be kept at a certain ph balance to stay supple and soft. So, the leather products that actually work aren't what you're looking for. If the leatherette is vinyl based, then by all means I'd say use vinyl stuff. But cutting myself short.... I don't know.

LEXOL is one of the best products for leather. It leaves a nice natural feel when it soaks in. if you cant find it at parts stores try a shoe repair center.

Ive always used Lexol and had good results with it. They have a cleaner then I use the conditioner.

Autosol has a good line of products as well.

Well I think I found the best cleaner/conditioner for leatherette. The other day at work so I've been trying out several different cleaners and conditioners. I've found that the Black Magic vinyl conditioner (their equivalent of Armor All) will both clean and condition leatherette. Works great and makes the interior smell good (new carish).

the only thing i will use on my is lexol and perma plate best stuff i have used and i have used a lot of stuff

Ive been using Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather Aloe Cleaner & Conditioner for my leather and its probably the best stuff ive found. It adds a light gloss to the leather as well as gets rid of any minor creases/scuff marks and most importantly, it’s a gel rather than a spray, which tends to get everywhere.

[aceyx]

for scuffs and such i use a mr. clean magic eraser. seriously the thing is tops (at least for motorcycle leathers).

if it's just light dirt i'll just use lexol conditioner, and a fresh side of the towel each time.

For the black plastic strip around the outside I've been using Armorall Protectant Wipes - I've used them on the dash too and does make it very shiny. In NZ the wipes come in a yellow top cannister. This really gives the nice black look to the strip which can look a bit faded otherwise.

Cheers
