I've never been a fan of armorall because of the greesy feeling and it tends to dry out. I have used the TurtleWax ICE total interior care on previous trucks with great results. Just wondering if this will work well on my Platinum with ac/heat pref leather seats? Also the rest of the interior?

I've yet used anything on my Interior or seats. It being #1 yr old today
I don't think im going to till it gets dull looking & needs to be brought back to life.......I may try the water on my leather and see how that works.....
On our FX4 I never used anything on the Interior till it was 3-4 yrs old....the Wife didn't like anything on the seats because of her clothing.
So its was always wiped down with just damp cloth and the seats look great in it, but it feels a lot harder and tough of a leather, compared to my New Katzkin Leather which is showing lines on the edge's of the seat.....at only 5,500KM

Hi, I've been told by one upholsterer the NIVEA hand creme is the best leather cleaning and moisturizing agent.
Opinions?
Suggestions?
I'm about to try this, so I'll keep you informed.

So got around to doing a full detail on the Lariat. When it came time for the seats I just used a cleaner with a wet cloth and scrubbed the dirt and spots (came out wonderfully). I then used a damp cloth to wipe up the residue, leaving a light amount of moisture on the seats. Ill have to say my seats have never looked or felt better!
Thanks to Greg for the info

I know I keep saying it and few believe me. YOU CAN'T CONDITION TOP COATED LEATHER...... you only need to clean and protect. In many cases the "conditioner" will attract oils and dirt that will harm the leather in the long run.
The king ranch is the ONLY leather in the ford line up that will benefit from a treatment.
People are wasting money and likely wearing out the leather faster by trying to "condition" your leather.
Granted its your truck do what you want.
Cheers,
GREG

He's right. The raptor has the top coated leather as well.
You don't deep condition top coated leather.
You can..but its not going to help.
