best product to use to clean leather seats
I'm cleaning my seats for the first time maybe in 5+ years.
I used scrubbing bubbles spray to clean the dust. I picked up a blottle of Magellan leather conditioner @ Wally World but was wondering if there is something better that can be picked up locally via advance auto ect.

Hmm maybe try woolite foaming spray, the kind u spray on and scrub wit a brush let dry then vacuum out, that stuff I use one my JGC on the carpet after my son got car sick and it not only got the stain out but the stinky out too... But seriously, I have cream couches in family room and use that on them all the time I love the stuff, it takes out stains and brightens the color too

the scrubbing bubbles spray took care of the dirt, I need to use a leather conditioner, thats what I'm trying to get some recommendations.
But i'll keep that in mind for the carpet till i rhino line it.

All of the above do work pretty well for cleaning leather, but I use Zymols leather cleaner and folow it up with conditioner. I've been doing detailing for a few years now and have found this to work better than any other product. Spray the seat well with the cleaner and then scrub it out with a clean terry cloth. Then with a microfiber apply the conditioner. I've taken out pen stains with this stuff lol

DO NOT use the scrubbing bubbles on the leather, really shouldn't use it on the plastic and vinyl either...unless its a wheeler and you don't really care about the long term effects.
Anyway, Optimum Powerclean is a good APC that cleans leather well with little to no negative effects.
If you want to do it the best way, there is a process that uses oil and eat to lift the dirt out of the leather with a conditioning step that follows. This is the "correct" way to clean leather. The products will run you around $90 and about a day to do it.
I detail so if have any questions ask them.
Also, after cleaning, the leather needs to be conditioned. Stay away from the cleaner/conditioner products. Use a dedicated cleaner and a dedicated conditioner.

I like using the white go-Jo. Non abrasive and cleans like crazy. Does not leave any slick ness and conditions the leather. I have used it on my new truck my restored truck boat seas and a lot of other things and it has worked great. Had a upholstery shop tell me to use this and it worked wonders

I'd have to agree on not using the scrubbing bubbles on your leather... It's way too strong of a product to use on the leather. Lexol makes amazing leather treatment, I use Lexol on my scuffed up work boots and it takes them back to looking close to new.
