How to Take Care of Car Leather Interiors

Many different factors can wreak havoc on a car interior, particularly a leather car interior. It is important that you take time out to properly care for your car leather interior so it stays looking its best year after year. 

Identifying what factors will wear down your car’s interior will help you when attempting to care for your car. Some good examples of the types of things that wear down car leather include the sunshine, excessively warm or cold weather and too much moisture. Typically cars with interiors made of fabric can simply be washed and vacuumed. Leather requires special care and treatment to protect the interior, as well as periodic cleaning and conditioning to keep the leather from cracking.

Basic Leather Care

To care for leather, you should wipe it down on a weekly basis. You can use a damp rag to do this. Make sure that it is soft. Try to keep spills away from leather seats. Invest in a good leather conditioner, and apply it to the seats at least once a month, using the directions available on the manufacturer’s bottle. This keeps the inside of your car looking its best, and can help prevent cracks which are common in leather interiors.

You do not want to use the leather conditioner too often, as this will prevent your car interior from breathing, which will cause its own set of problems. 

Leather protection creams can also be applied approximately once every three months. You should only apply a protecting product after you have cleaned and conditioned your seats and any other leather interior. Using any cleaner but a leather product may contribute to leather cracking, so be certain that you are using the right product. 

Once you are done cleaning, make an effort to park your car in a closed area like a garage o keep I out of the harsh weather. This will help prevent premature aging of your car’s interior. You can also put a visor in the windshield to protect your car’s interior from direct exposure to the light.
