Default keeping the seats looking fresh

What cleaner and conditioner are you guys using to clean the seats in your V? I plan on cleaning and conditioning in like another month, but would like to know what kind of brands you guys are using. Thanks for any help.

I clean the suede with Tuff Stuff, available at any pep Boys. It works great !, then use any leather cleaner and conditioner often to help keep the leather soft and looking good.

Not sure as possible, as I have only been able to purchase Zaino directly from their website. Spend some time on detailer/polisher/car care forums, you will see that others believe the less expensive alternatives are just as good. Here is one such product: http://www.poorboysworld.com/index.html

Not advocating any products, or saying Zaino is overpriced for what you get, I have used it and gotten good results, as I have with lesser expensive products, but with the V there are always other options for different budgets.

Regarding the suede, never a problem, so can't help.

I use Turtle Wax Oxy Power Out! on the "suede" - nothing fancy. It's perfectly safe since the material is polyester. I spray it on, use a fine brush and an all white cotton cloth to rub it in. Afterwards before it drys I use another all white thick cotton cloth across the area with some weight on it to pull the absorbed cleaner that is now suspending the dirt out of the seat surface. On the leather surfaces I use Coach Leather Creme.
