Okay, I'll ask.....
I accidently spilled a closed soda container on my leather seat yesterday. Not a lot since the plastic and straw were still in it. It dried and left a "fluid spill mark". What would you use to clean it and protect?
I'm out pf what I had, sooooooo.....
PS The last time I asked CF members what battery to buy, there was clear winner and I ended up buying that battery!

it is plastic coated leather, chevy says in the owners use and care booklet, that only water and a clean cloth are needed for cleaning. I forget if it cautions against other cleaning agents, but it is telling that they offer no GM leather cleaning agents , unlike any other fluid the car might require .
I would avoid any leather product not specifically intended for plastic coated auto leather. I have had old cars with uncoated leather seats, and the material care is very different, you can feel the leather getting softer as it absorbs the treatments, Car seats don't do that today, if it absorbs chemicals, I would think it is probably going to delaminate at some future time. .

Thank you CF members. Now its a tie, with only two votes Lexol is half the money and you get double the product. Hmmmmmm. Let's see if we get anymore votes.

Start with water (perhaps with a very mild soap) and see how that does. You can always follow up with something like Lexol, Mequires, etc. if need be.
