Proper care for leather seats How can I properly care for the black leather seats in my SS? On vinyl/plastic sections of the interior I have used ArmourAll but I am not sure I should use that stuff on leather.
If your car's a 'vert, do not let DIRECT, 12 Noon, sunlight hit the seats. Leather does not like to be cooked. A neighbor of mine just bought a Solara convertible with a leather interior. The tool bought it, drove it around in the morning, and then parked it in front of his house during a getty with the top still down. It was a crazy hot day, like 90 something degrees. In about four hours, the leather was burning hot to the touch and had bubbled up slightly in some areas. Now his leather is on, like, 5k miles and is wrinkled up everywhere!

Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Conditioner, thats what i use and they had a lil wrinkle when i bought it 8 or 9 months ago but none since then. Once every week or 2 should be good.

My car is a vert and I never really leave the top down if its parked and its garaged at my house. I left it in the sun for 10 minutes and found it pretty hot on the seat surfaces. Luckily the previous owner kept it in good shape it looks perfect right now. I will try to find the Meguiar's.

I have always used mink oil, you can find next to shoe polish, for most leather and some vinyl interior surfaces. It is dirt cheap, cheaps everything soft and supple and doesnt dry out quickly like armorall.

I like to use meguirs products but haven't tried the cleaner and conditioner yet. So far I have used Goof Off when i needed to clean it and meguires wipes the rest of the time.
