Full Leather - Kyalami Orange - What products to use?

Good morning.

I'm planning to clean up my leather seats/dashboard. Until this point, only a clean towell.

I normally used Lexol clean and then lexol conditioner.

Is it these products ok for this color of leather?

Thanks!

Lexol has been a favorite by many for a long time. Gyeon leather products seem to be another favorite.

My vote goes for Sonax leather foam. Best of luck.

The color is locked in the leather, and the leather is coated. Sonax, Gyeon or Chemical Guys. Any of these will be fine.

Light cleaning I use a damp microfiber cloth lightly rubbed on a damp Ivory soap bar. Then chase it with another damp microfiber cloth. This is for spot cleaning and about once a month. Very light cleaning with this method.

Heavier cleaning I use ColourLock mild cleaner and 'shield'. I do this about every 6 months if the car is getting used a lot and every 12 months if it isn't piling on the miles.

I do use ColourLock on my leather furniture inside as well, so your budget and OCDness might dictate otherwise.

The only advice is to not use a multi use product (like a 3 in 1) and use a dedicated cleaner and a dedicated protectant/sealer/etc.
