A well presented video showing how it's done. I don't understand the derogatory and sometimes offensive remarks from some other viewers. You present yourself well, you speak clearly and have obviously thought about the information you're going to impart.

+detail king loved the fact that you slightly wet the seat before actually proceding with the shampooing process. Amazing Videos :)
I use Lexol cleaner and conditioner for leather seats in both mine and wife's car. I clean exactly by the video. Awesome results! No need to wipe off lexol conditioner. It dries up fo factory finish!
Thanks for uploading! I had questions, this video had the answers.
Fantastic video, thanks for the great instruction and "down to the point" steps. Some videos talk too much lol, and this one is perfect! Thanks so much!
Great job on the video. You provided some tips I haven’t seen before.
Wow dude. Great demo now I know how to really clean my leather. Thanks
That was a great demonstration. Tank you
thanks for the tip.. worked great!
Gotta say you just showed me the propper way to keep my leather seats nice an clean . You are definitely the detail king.
OMFG! I've been looking for a triple yellow Eldorado forever! And there is one right behind you! lol
really helpful a different way to keep those seat clean I was thinking about that brand it might be the next choice
I use my fingers and palms with pressure to Apply the Lexol conditioner. Squeeze and infuse product into any Leather creases or cracks. Wait 30 minutes and re-apply with your fingers and palms once again. I wait 24 hours without Friction on the applied areas before wiping clean with fresh cloth ( Fold down Suburban seats should stay up after application .) I fully endorse this product !!
Lexol products are excellent. This is how I was taught to clean leather in high end autmobiles.

Whish I knew what my pawpaw used on his true leather seats in his Lincoln town car. This was over 24 yrs ago but remember they was slick as snot after he cleaned them and wld just slide right out of the seats. Long ago but good memories
Awesome video bro! I have a question what is the name of that light bar that is above the dash!
Omg, that was soooooo muchhhh grease and dirt and skin and DNA that got removed. All thanks to this product

Would you recommend any other products to clean and condition leather seats?
I have a heating and cooling seat in my car and it has small holes for air to come out so what would you recommend doing differently?

Im wondering the same thing!
Condition doesn't stay glossy. I use the Lexol conditioner all the time. Takes about 48-72 hours for it to fully absorb into the leather and it becomes matte again.
What kind of applicator pad are you using while applying the conditioner? Do they sell them at advanced or pep boys? Also what kind of microfiber towel u using? There are sooo many different kinds... cloth, polish, plush...
Do you need to test a unseen location first prior to putting it on the entire seat?
do you have any videos with you cleaning tan colored or bright leather that could really showcase your efforts? thanx
Hi, does Lexol cleaner remove Foundation & Lipstick stains?
So the inner part of my seats aren't leather but the outer parts are. So would this stuff mess up the material in between? And also how often do you recommend to do this?
so question, i had some very dirty black leather seats and there was black blemishes, when i cleaned it with a microfiber towel, black residue came off...is that normal or was the from the leathers topcoat?
So after I clean/condition my seats I need to use a protectant like 303 then I'm done right?
Does it protect it from uv rays as well ?
Thanks, man!
(ON A MORE SERIOUS SIDE) DO YOU ENJOY THE SUDS DRIPPING THROUGH A WET BLACK CRACK? AND DO YOU ALWAYS USE PROTECTION?
Does the cleaner act as an antibacterial? For germs specifically kids?
I have partial leather seats and doors fully padded in leather, will this stain or discolor surrounding fabrics and plastics?
Can I do this too if I have seat warmers? I don’t want to damage them
1:26 I don't think i'm supposed to use cloth this wet(dripping wet) on my car seat with built in heating and ventilation functions.
I been cleaning with my brother and my dad trucks leather seats with soapy water but we never thought of oils for protection because when we finish cleaning them they look dry but we thought that's the way it should be but I'm going to look for the conditioner for the seats

its especially important to use a conditioner on leather to keep it hydrated just like your skin. if not the nasty oils and grime will seep right back into the leather and have to do it all over again and dries out faster
how often between applications?

Could you show a before and after picture? Because to me it looks like you took a plush new leather seat and turned it into a "armorall" seat... aka the greasy appearance... I just want to see what it looked like when it dried. I very much prefer the matte and satin new leather vs gloss finish.

Hey Logan, If there is any over-application, you would want to first buff off the excess with a towel. But this product absorbs into material more than it actually needs to "dry", therefor it can be handled after 15-30 minutes.

It's nice to see gentle hands on black leather, try it on a vanilla or cream color leather and really show us how to take off the dirt off that leather! Alot more elbow grease with light leather. I wish I had black leather too.
Clean with an APC (all purpose cleaner) and then use an express spray wax. Modern leather has a protective coating applied from the factory.

How about doing this with leather this is actually dirty and lighter in color?

You cleaned a clean seat.
I'm using the gel and it doesn't foam as well. I guess the spray is better however it still cleaned the leather.
I have perforated leather whats the best method
Can i do this on seats with peforation?
Now THAT is clean! Well done. I prefer to use Lexol as well. The sad thing is that the car owners that do this for their leather seats are probably 1 in a 100. Especially with people leasing (renting) cars and turning them in. No sense of ownership these days. Really crappy for the second owner.

Don't let the dealers touch your car even wash, they hire 18 year old kids who don't even know how to properly wash a car let alone detail them!
Do a cream or white leather seat!!!
how often do i do this
The leather conditioner you applied will not get into the 'pores' of the leather unless the seat and coating is heavily worn, allowing the leather to be exposed. This will be obvious due to dye transfer. Automotive leather is coated from the factory, and the pores are sealed by the coating, therefore any 'conditioner' you apply will simply sit on the surface as the coating is water/oil resistant. This will lead to increase wear over time and the oils/conditioners in the cream you applied will attract dirt and dust that then gets worn into the seat. If you want to add protection to your leather seats after cleaning then apply a coating rather than a cream or conditioner.

Cleaning depends on your situation, for example how much sun exposure your car is getting, kids, pets etc. Usually every 6 months should work fine, if the seats are getting a lot of abuse every 2/3 months. Thanks!

How does the fact that it's PH balanced mean it's aggressive enough to clean well? I thought that just meant it won't hurt the leather.
