Default RE: Leather cleaning, How often?

id say it depends on the abuse they take. i would do mine monthly except my mom ruined them while she had the car. if ur car sits out in the sun a lot u should clean/condition them at least once a month, twice to be on the safe side. that way ur guarenteed they dont have gaping holes in them like mine. im getting my windows tinted soon so i dont have to worry about the sun killing my seats.

My windows are tinted now, I had them tinted this past Summer. It does save the leather some.

I only did the two front seats for now, and they feel a lot smoother.

I think I will do it monthly. It will keep them clean and condition them at the same time.

Why just do 2, why not all seats? Any ways, I do mine once a week, it protects, they feel smooth, look like the car was bought yesterday, and best of all, it conserves that brand new car smell. My windows came tinted from the dealership.

I clean/condition all of mine every spring and they stay looking pretty nice. Windows are tinted, and the car parks in the garage.

I tend to follow this guidline, with the exception of doing the vinyl protectant less than suggested. I have found autopiato be an excellent site...
