    What are you all using on your leather seats for protection and cleaning? My 2022 has leather seats and I want to keep them in good shape.

    You sure its real leather ? most seats are synthetic " Pleather " now .

    Warm water and a light splash of dish soap works great for my " Pleather " seats
    Unless things changed in the last 12 years , nothing is going to work better than warm water and a sprinkle of dish soap .
    Pleather is synthetic leather . All the crap out there that works great for leather doesnt work for Pleather .

    303 aerospace!

    It's pretty much the only thing I use on... Well... Everything, lol.

    Tbh I just got it, and I would previously use McGuire's leather treatment stuff. But the 303 has literally replaced every single thing in the detail kit aside from an occasional rain-x anti fog (which you can use shaving cream for btw) and what's left of my chemical guys ceramic stuff. I'll never buy another product outside of 303 again... Hopefully...

    Hot towels cure all :cool:

    Seriously... I most times that's all I use. For the windows during summer it's distilled water to avoid streaks. Flawless. 303 is new to me but I suspect itll be used maybe once or twice a year outside of tire protection. The rest of the times, warm water and a microfiber towel. Especially for the dash "plastic" like the speedometer.

    @Ol'blue there is also a whole section for "detailing" advice. Check it out here.

    I use Colourlock products and have been very happy with the protection/results. Although I have not used it, I hear good things about CarPro CQuartz as well. Adam's and some other companies are starting to come out with ceramic coatings for interior use as well.

    I used to use this stuff on exterior trim. But its water based and runs when it gets wet. No more use on exterior trim for me.

    Agree, streaks and comes right off, and never would it on interiors. Never use it period.

    Oh look, another mod....

    The guy who detailed my truck used 303 on it. He made the "Softek" leather seats look and smell like new again. He said it's the only thing he recommends for Toyota leather.

    Leather Master Soft Cleaner is a great cleaner.
    Chemical Guys Leather Protectant Serum makes seats smell like fresh leather and drys to a matte finish.
