leatherette care?

Feyd · 11-09-2008, 09:12 PM

anyone have suggestions for cleaning/conditioning leatherette... i realize since its not a natural skin it probably isn't as finicky as leather would be, but I still don't want to ruin it by using the wrong product...

thanks in advance. :smile:

The interior of my car is immaculate at all times therefore the leatherette portions require nothing more than wiping down with a slightly damp(not wet) 100% cotton washrag, followed with a 100% cotton dry towel. Others, whose cars might be exposed to harsher conditions(such as children, drunken buddies, hitch-hikers, prostitutes, etc...) may have more ambitious methods, other concerns. We'll see...

Surname has it right. Forget Armor all and the like, it will make the seats too slippery. Just a damp cloth will suffice.

I can just imagine sliding out of the seats while you drive, it would be like Mr. Burns waxing his head....lol

Yeah, there was a good e90 thread a while ago where a guy was asking how to get lotion and body glitter off BMW leather. People definitely gave him a hard time for that one...
