Default Seat question

Just wondering what is best to use for cleaning and conditioning the seats.........Seats are red and in great shape other than a little surface dirt.

Be sure and clean them with a mixture of dish detergent and water first. Even useing a small scrub brush is OK. Very important to not rub the dirt into the leather. Then after they are clean, use a good product like Lexol or Hide Food. Lexol is German and Hide food is British. I prefer Lexol. Good luck. Remember only a portion of the sets are genuine leather. The tops of the bottom cusions and the front of the backs except for the lower inside panel.

I've had real good luck with Adams Leather Cleaner
and Lexol Conditioner.
I use it both on the Vette and the Wardens BMW.

Vette Essentials sells an excellent leather conditioner and so does Adam's Polishes.
