These are established products for leather care. Only my Civic is currently doing service in Gurugram with our son. His City is pretty messy and I may let the HASS have a got at it after a bit of paint repairs. Then if not happy I will give it a full treatment. In any case my leather upholstery in the dining chairs is pretty messy, so I may have a got at that.

Thank you! I got them all from Amazon, shipped to a US address.

1)Lexol leather care kit(16.9 oz)
Price: $24.99

2)COLOURLOCK Leather & Textile Cleaning Brush
Price: $8.5

3)Viking Cotton Terry Wax Applicator Pads - 6 Pack
Price: $4.6

Hope this helps!

Availability of Lexol products in India is an issue. I did come across the Lexol leather conditioner on eBay India, couldn't find the leather cleaner. Meguiars all purpose cleaner (APC) is equally good. It is a stronger cleaner compared to Lexol leather cleaner. Trying to source the Meguiars APC in India. Any leads would be helpful.

Hello csr,

Seats are looking great after cleaning.

Can you suggest any alternatives available in India please?

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply. You could try out the Meguiars gold class cleaner. However, I can't vouch for it as I haven't used it.

I worked like a dream on the leather chairs. Out of the eight seven are now in excellent shape. i may give the remaining another try one of these days.

Hello Bhpians,

My 1 week baby Honda City VX CVT is fitted with Stanley Touch Classic leather seats. It's captivating to see and sit!

My only worry is maintenance. I have seen lot of leather cleaners & conditioners in Amazon, Flipkart etc... but I am confused.

Any suggestion on the best product would be welcome. Thanks.

Seating guy advised me to just use Soap/ shampoo water.

Cheers, Good day,

My query is not about leather seats, but about the leather steering:

I'm starting to see wrinkles form on my 3.5 month old Taigun's steering. It spends quite a lot of time parked in the hot sun as I don't have the luxury of a covered parking at my workplace.

Anything I can do to alleviate this?
Would a sun-film help? Or any solution I can apply to the leather?

Experts, please advise.

Experts, please advise.

1) get some quality leather steering cover, and wrap it around. Avoid the cheaper ones. Infact, some of the car seat makers also customize such steering cover, with choice of pattern (leather / stitch).
This way the original steering material is protected, and cover gives better grip, even in sweaty hands condition. And after few years the cover can still be replaced.

2) use good leather conditioner solution every few months. I have been using ArmorAll gel since few years, and really happy with it. It maintains the suppleness / softness in leather.
See HERE (Toyota Fortuner : Official Review) one of my previous post on same.

3) some of the gear knobs also are leather made, which eventually gets very dirty on long use. I have applied a silicone grip cover on it - protects the knob, and gives me an awesome grip, with a small loss of premium looks.
While applying this silicone cap, I put some talcum powder inside, so as to avoid the silicone sticking to knob material, keeping all safe, and recheck every year.

Since you park in the sun, the most effective thing to do is get shades for all windows. I use these and it does a good job in controlling the heat inside.
