Here's one for you. Someone let me know if I am doing major damage to my interior.


Baby wipes. The pampers hypo-allergernic ones. They are pretty cheap, and have almost no detergent in them. I use them on the dash, seats, pretty much everything. It seems like dust doesn't build up after I use them either.


I figure if they're safe enough for my babies ass, they're safe enough for my baby.

If there is no alcohol,drying agent,involved I couldn't see it being a problem.

That's what I thought, too, and couldn't find anything in the ingredients that looked bad.


They work great. Pampers ought to market them

In my Chrysler I used Lexol...I think. First I cleaned the leather, waited for it to dry (which was usually when I finally got done with the rear seat, sucker was pretty big) and then conditioned it.


In my LeSabre I use a vacuum cleaner. Much easier. I love the people who say leather is easier to care for. Uh-uh, you're just dusting it, not cleaning and caring for it.


I used the combination cleaner/conditioner Maguiars on it a couple times, I liked it too. Whatever you do make sure you use a leather cleaner, not a plastic/vinyl cleaner.


Have a good one!!

I use Meguires. Works great... Starting to show some wear from getting in and out but dealer said they would take care of that before warranty is up and I will get new seats...

Use a good leather cleaner with a leather lubricant. Beware of Armpor all. My kids used it on my wifes Cadilac a few years ago and it made the seats so slick she had trouble siting upright in the seat.

Leatherique.


I'm surprised nobody mentioned that yet. I have experience with these products on abused, dried out leather in older cars and it seems to almost work miracles. With a Toyota Sienna I used to own, I had "port installed" leather which was aweful. It was stiff and dried out when it was new. I was very pleased by the Leatherique results which made this leather much more supple and pliable, and less prone to surface cracking.


I haven't used it on my duramax yet, but it is now a year old and I think it is about time. I expect the same great results.
