My bro-in-law swears by Zymol. Those condition the leather and I'm not so sure that the Tannery stuff is available anymore. But when I do brief cleanings in between the once-a-year detailing, I will just take a wet (wrung out) cloth and wipe down the seats (and other leather parts). To be honest, my car seats don't get that dirty (knock on wood). :) I use a foam cleaner on the windows, I'll take the wet papertowels (that used to have foam on them) and wipe down the non-leather surfaces in the car. Sometimes, I'll just use the wet cloth also. For tires, he suggests Ardex and avoid Armor All for these also. He also gave a tip: After giving your car one of those really thorough waxings, when you wash it subsequently, cut the shampoo down with a tablespoon of cooking oil. It'll make your waxed finish last longer. kaboomie ps I've never tried the cooking oil thing. :) |
