  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Leather Seats

I have always used Lexol but I recently watched a YouTube about Colourlock Leather Cleaner / Preservative. I have a older Denali with light beige leather. It was pretty clean looking but when I used the ColourLock on it dirt just rolled off, shiny look on the leather went away and they look like new. Matt finish looks so good I was amazed. They have a preservative for 3 years or older leather or a Shield protector for newer stuff. I have now used both, older stuff on the GMC and Harley and newer stuff on the G70. Without a doubt I can not think of any product I have tried cold and found to work this well. Supposedly use the preservative every 3 to 6 months, easy wipe on with supplied cloth and then wipe away any wet spots after a few moments. Supposed to prevent blue jean transfer.

You probably don't want to use that much cleaner on the rag. Start with a small amount, if you can see it on the leather then that's all you need. Smear it across the rag so there's no blobs.

If you do get it into the little holes in the leather, it will likely vacuum out once it dries.
 
I use Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner products on my 2011 Genesis 3.8 and now 2018 G80. The products do not affect the heating/cooling in the front perforated seats. Just avoid over applying. This is cleaning/conditioning, not putting icing on a cake. ;)

I actually found my 2018 G80 car dash and screens were frequently "dusty" when brand new. I speculated it was remnants from the hole punches in the seat. After cleaning/conditioning the leather seats over time the issue went away.
 
Don't laugh...Foaming Scrubbing Bubbles will clean your leather. You just have to follow with a damp rag to clean/neutralize, then leather cleaner and conditioner. You can search "the seat shop leather cleaning video". Use a medium brush, do a small area at a time and it really cleans older leather amazingly well or any leather that is dirty and the "usual" methods didn't work.

I'm with others on Lexol leather cleaner/conditioner and Lexol VINYLEX for all vinyl items - UV resistant, actually penetrates the vinyl, and low luster. Here is a party barge interior picture, OEM vinyl from 1994 - 28ft Harris Floteboat.
