Hi Everyone,

I'm new to Hyundai and Elantra's and this forum and....leather. I love the leather seats in my 2007 Ltd. and was wondering if anyone out there could reccomend cleaning and conditioning products that don't leave the seats slippery? I've tried the Armorall leather wipes and while they are convenient, they did leave me sliding around a little after use.

In our detailing section there is a pinned topic called "Detailing Bible". There is a section for interior surfaces with a link to a guide for leather cleaning.

Here is the topic:

Thanks for the reply and I appologise for not doing my homework before posting. I used the link for leather care and it went to Autogeeks, where I've already looked (since we get discount). I was really looking for some feedback from other board members with first hand experience of the products available.

Thanks for the reccomendation, I just got back to this post from the reviews section where there are a couple listed and I've been looking on Amazon too, I didn't realize I had so many options...

It all depends on taste and most will leave your leather quite slick. Especially in the Elantra leather!

Now I used Poorboy's Leather Stuff. Great product and has a mild cleaner in it and conditions very well! Smells like leather also! wink.gif

Now, many people use Pinnacle and the Lexol products. Lexol, you have a cleaner and a conditioner and is know to be one of the best in the business. But you have to buy 2 products.

To help on the application for it not to leave a huge film. Apply and remove with a microfiber towel!
