I grab a wet cloth and a dry cloth. No soap. No products

Owners manual says :

Cleaning Vinyl and Leather
We recommend that you only clean the leather and vinyl surfaces in the following way:

1. Remove dust and loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
2. Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap and water solution.Dry the area with a clean, soft cloth.
3. For additional information and assistance, we recommend that you contact an authorized dealer.

it doesn’t specify any conditioners oils or product because 99% of vehicles made now don’t have leather. They may have some leather trim but it’s all pleather or synthetic or vinyl…whatever you want to call it. it’s actually a better, tougher, longer lasting product I think. Worked well on my Limited, my wife’s 16 Explorer and my Audi.

The King Ranch has genuine steer hide. FMC has a plethora of material for KR care but for everything else it’s a damp cloth.

the 2nd post in this thread says it all

How to clean/treat Platinum seats

I have to think there is a different forum for this, but I will start here. My 17 Limited I used some leather cleaner and I don't think it worked well or right, or I used it wrong. For these '20 seats, the leather is very different (softer) so I know I need to do something different, but what...

Our KR is showing some fading/wear on drivers seat. So far I have only found products that restore color for a few days. Does anyone know of a product that works for a longer period? Thanks!

I like to use Chemical Guys Leather Cleaner and their conditioner once every few months. They also have the protection serum that I use twice a year. I have husky who makes a mess when I take her out with me so I also use Ruff Rugs cargo liner in the back.

I’m not sure what you mean. Restoring color sounds like a misnomer. What I assume you mean is that it leaves a sheen on it. For it to only last a few days would imply simply that it dries out, probably from being soaked into your clothes. Does that make sense?

I use Lexol conditioner and cleaner. I used it for four years in my F-150 Platinum, and I've been using them in my Expedition. They've worked great and have given me no reason to switch products.

ON a KING RANCH I’d used Leather CPR

Leather CPR cleans and moisturizes the leather but doesn't leave any sheen or shine, so it keeps the seats looking like new.

I've used Chemical Guys cleaner forever but then moved back to soap and water because of something I read. Never heard of leather cpr, will check them out.
