Cleaning/Conditioning Perforated Leather Seats and Dash/Door panels on a C-6
 

What do you recommend I use to clean/condition the leather seats with perforations on a C-6. Its a pain to get the conditionor out of the leather holes after the treatment?
Also, what do you use to clean the dash and door panels?

I use Adams Polishes inside and out on both of my cars. Great product, easy to work with.

With the one exception (mistake) of using a leather cleaner/conditioner product, I've only used a damp rag mostly and occasionally spray a little Windex if I want it real clean. The car's a DD with over 100K, just so you know it gets more than simple dust from sitting in the garage.

I use Lexol Leather cleaners and conditioners. It works great

If this leather is sealed new will using cleaners not remove or damage this coating just asking.

:iagree:

That what I use on the leather in my car.

For the plastic and vinyl I clean with a very dilute solution of Simple Green general purpose cleaner, and rinse with water. This is followed with a treatment of 303 protectant.

If there are really stubborn dirt or stains on the leather or plastic , I use the GM foaming upholstery cleaner. If it is used on the leather I immediately follow with a leather conditioner (Lexol) as it can take the oils out of the leather....but cleans REALLY well. My car is also a year round daily driver with 149,000 miles on it, so it does get dirty....but still looks new.

:iagree: A damp rag is what I use too.

I agree. Our leather is coated, "conditioners" are useless. Warm water damp microfiber. If you have soiling, 10:1 woolite with water (10 parts water), rinse.

I have used Zaino for a decade but there are lots of great products on the market today. :rock:

Griots leather cleaner. Makes it smell new. Spray in on a rag to avoid buildup in the perforations

:iagree:That is what I use on the seats and it does work great:rock:

There may be value in cleaning the leather with an appropriate leather cleaner, but it continues to amaze me that people put leather conditioner on their Corvette's seats and say how well it works. You might as well put it on a Formica counter for all the good it does on coated leather. I suppose it might soften your hands.:woohoo:

A damp MicroFiber cloth works well.

I use a water based upholstery cleaner and conditioner that is made for cleaning clear coated automotive leathers (the vast majority of manufacturers use clear coated leathers as they are more durable).

Mequiar's Gold Class leatherwipes do a good job every other week.will not show in leather perforations inexpensive

I like Ice Interior cleaner. No streaks and smells great.:yesnod:

Recommend Aerospace 303 Vinyl Cleaner & Aerospace 303 Protectant on the dash and doors. Zaino Z-9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner & Z-10 Leather in a Bottle for all the leather.

ArmourAll Leather Wipes work for me.

I had a chat with a GM employee who said to use Murphy's cut 50/50 with water and lint free cloth. Mine looks good so far. cutnout aka Charlie
