Park in shady area : Park the car in a shady area.
Vacuum seats : Vacuum the seats thoroughly, making sure to remove all debris in the crevices.
Wipe w/ cleaning solution : Apply leather cleaning solution to a dry sponge, and wipe one seat with circular motions until it’s covered with cleaner.For stubborn stains, try mixing equal parts lemon juice and cream of tartar and rub the paste into the spot—just make sure to test it on an inconspicuous place first.
Dry seat w/ cloth : Dry the seat with a cloth.
Repeat on other seats : Repeat with the other seats one at a time, rubbing the cleaning solution on with a sponge and then drying with a cloth.
Apply conditioner w/ cloth : When all the seats are clean and dry, apply leather conditioner to a clean cotton cloth. To protect leather from the sun, use one that contains sunscreen.For quick clean-ups, use leather wipes, sold in auto parts stores, that contain both cleaner and conditioner.
Wipe seats w/ conditioner : Wipe down the seats with the conditioner.
Let seats dry : Let the seats dry for at least an hour. They should now be as clean and soft as when the car rolled out of the factory.
