Owning an RS5 in excellent condition inspired me to prioritize the care of its luxurious leather interior. Neglecting to maintain it properly could tarnish its pristine finish. Stains, especially on light-colored leather, along with that unwanted oily and dirty appearance, often result from the dye in clothing, like blue jeans, transferring onto the leather. Natural body oils can also penetrate the leather over time, making it look unsightly.
So, when should you embark on a leather cleaning and conditioning mission? Typically, every three months, depending on your driving habits and how much wear your seats endure. Here's a simple test: If your car's leather seats look shiny or if you frequently leave your car outdoors, and the seats appear dry or faded, it's time.
How to Clean Your Leather Seats:
First, remember that these cleaning chemicals have quite a potent odor and can seep into your skin and anything they touch when wet. It's essential to wear nitrile gloves, and consider using microfiber rags that you won't reuse for other cleaning purposes, as these chemicals might contaminate your other cleaning materials.
Begin by vacuuming the seats to remove any surface dust before applying your chosen leather cleaner. Protect the leather from abrasion by using a soft brush attachment or wrapping the nozzle edge with a microfiber cloth to prevent any potential scratches.
Next, apply the cleaner spray to the seat and use a leather cleaning brush. You can also spray some cleaner directly onto the leather. Gently agitate the leather while scrubbing, but the process may vary depending on the product, so always follow the instructions on the bottle. Wipe the leather clean and remove any excess product. Your leather should have a matte, factory-fresh appearance.
Now, onto the leather conditioner. Apply it to a microfiber cloth or an applicator pad, spread it evenly with your finger, and then apply it to the seat. Ensure even coverage, and wipe away any excess to avoid that overly shiny leather look.
Always follow the instructions on the bottle, as the drying and curing times may vary. Typically, it takes a few hours, so resist the urge to drive right away to prevent it from transferring to your clothes. This routine effectively safeguards your leather from UV fading and the dye transfer from clothing items, such as the blue dye from your jeans.
Cleaning Your Leather Steering Wheel:
Cleaning your leather steering wheel follows the same process as cleaning your leather seats. Just be mindful to use a smaller amount of conditioner, allowing it to cure and dry to prevent it from transferring to your hands.
If you notice that you've applied too much conditioner or the leather appears too wet, grab a fresh microfiber towel to rub the area again. This will help absorb and remove excess conditioner, restoring the leather to its matte finish.
Leather seat care isn't something you must perform every time you wash your car, but it's a quick and worthwhile task. Your leather will benefit from UV protection, color preservation, and enhanced durability to prevent cracks or stress marks.
