Leather Treatment

Asking for advice for leather treatment products for seats?

 

Both Mothers VLR or the 303 Leather 3 in 1 Complete Care work well on the finished leather and vinyl of our stock seats. I'm sure there are other products, but I have used these.

Stay away from traditional leather care products like Lexol, they are not meant for modern finished automotive leathers, and will simply stay on the surface, collect dust and dirt and basically turn into an abrasive slurry that will wear your leather and vinyl.

 

I bought a container of Armor All leather care wipes. They seemed to do a nice job.

 

I wish there was a product that would get rid of blue jean stains. My wife has managed to dye her beige leather Highlander seat blue.

 

Exactly why I went with dark seats. I was talking with the sales guy about how it seems that lighter colored leather shows wear and he pointed out that it wasn't the tanning wearing off that it was stains from jeans and other clothes combined with body sweat and oils.

 

dang, same with the parchment (tan) leather in my wifes old acura TL. But If I stayed on top of it, but cleaning it and treating it every few months, I was always able to get most of it off. I used Lexol, but someone above said its not good to use, not too sure about that. I guess I'll google that shit.

 

I use leather cleaner and Chemical Guys leather protectant serum every 3-6 month on the wife's Highlander.
It smells like fresh leather and seems to keep the seats looking new.

 

I used the Chemical Guys stuff on my wife’s 4Runner and the seats looked great when we traded it. I wasn’t sure how well it would work on the Tacoma leather seats.

 

That’s true modern leather is sealed.
