I just bought a 2008 F150 FX4, Supercrew with heated, black leather seats. The previous owner looked after it well with no rips, tears or wear areas. I would like to keep the leather up to snuff. What Leather treatments work, Good Better, Best? What are Applications:Monthly, Quarterly, vs 6 months, vs once /year?
I am open to suggestions...

I use Eagle Ottawa leather cleaner and their preservative. They made the leather, their product works extremely well.

 

Thanks
Can you buy it at Canadian Tire? Ford? Home Hardware?

There's lots of info in the Detailing section.

 

I find it at the local Car Quest and other stores that have auto supplies.

 

I wipe down the leather in my 04 with Armor All leather wipes on a weekly basis and every couple of months I use Meguiars Gold Class cleaner/conditioner and they literally look as good as new after 7 years and 170k miles. A whole bunch of people on here do not like the leather wipes but they have worked very well for me and my truck is exposed to the elements 24/7.

 

I use Bick 4 about 2 times a month on mine. Truck has 83k on it now and is exposed every day all day on pipelines etc and the seats look new. I started using this stuff on my work boots because they would get damaged by the chemicals I'm around on these rigs and gas wells and it would cause them to shrink and stiffen up. I figured if it would keep those boots soft without changing color, it should work on seats.

Stuff is spectacular in my opinion.

The leather in our trucks is plastic coated and therefore leather conditioners will not do much. I've heard a lot of people using 303 Protectant. You can read more about it here: http://www.303products.com/shop303/i...ve-leather.cfm
