1. Vacuum the crevices of your seats to get rid of excess dirt, dust, and debris.

3. Gently clean the upholstery using a microfiber cloth and soft-bristled brush.
4. Once you have thoroughly cleaned your leather seats, applying an approved leather conditioner is recommended. Leather conditioner helps prevent cracking and keeps the upholstery supple. Apply the conditioner with a clean microfiber cloth. After the conditioner has dried, buff it in with a different clean microfiber cloth.
