Default 2013 leather seats

Hey guys I have a fx4 with the black leather. I know it isn't genuine leather, so what's the best product to clean these "vinyl" seats with. I don't want to do any harm to them. Any knowledge is appreciated.

Lenox makes two products -- Cleaner (orange bottle) & Conditioner (brown bottle).

You can buy both at Autozone or oreillys.

Easy to use.

I have tried a few products, and Lexol gets my vote as well. You can also get it at WalMart

Thanks for the input guys I think I will try some of that out! Do u use both the orange and brown bottle one after the other? Also it doesn't leave the seats to where when u go to sit down on them u almost slip off it right? Last bottle of meguars did that.

Actually you do want your seats to be a little bit slippery. Thats what keeps them from wearing, wrinkling and chaffing. If theres no glide between the Levis and the leather (seat surfaces) it will tend to wear a little more.

You can use just the cleaner, but I would use both. It leaves your seats soft feeling, but not slippery or shiny.

Picked some up today now I have all the components to get a nice detail in. Collinite 845, leather cleaner and conditioner, meguars ultimate black, and some black magic tire wet. Not it needs to just not be 100 degrees to do it lol

I like Mothers VLR.

For a good cleaning I use Meguiars APC at 4:1 then apply VLR

I will have to see how this lexol works out. If I don't like it all have to explore my options.
