What is everyone using on their leather seats to clean and condition.

Thanks in advance

I would recommend using a 10:1 Water/Woolite mix to clean all of the interior plastics and leather surfaces. To the average person it amy sound awkward, but it cleans well and is very safe to use.

On our new F150, we dress the leather with OPT (Optimum) Leather Protectant. It works very well on the newer coated leathers Ford is using. Enjoy the new truck. PM me for any additional detailing advice.

Try to find you some Lexol. Both the cleaner and conditioner are the best

The above method outperforms the Lexol line up in every aspect of what the product is intended for.

Never heard of the Optimum line, where is it available?

lexol is the way to go. no need to premix anything.

If you want to use Lexol, all the power to you. I can tell you, that these people bowing down to Lexol have no idea what they are doing to there interior/leather, and they sure as hell have not tried OPT products, Zaino products, or leatherique products. (Although on the newer coated leathers, I doubt that Leatherique will improve it much as it needs to go deep into the pores.)

Hell, I do not buy OPT because it is more expensive, $14/bottle verses $7 or $8 for the lexol, but it simply outperforms Lexol in every which way.
