Does anybody have any suggestions on what products to use on the the red leather seats to prevent them from turning that dreaded "pinkish" color over time due to sun exposure and the elements? I love the deep dark red leather color and want to do what I can to preserve it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have been using the Lexol Cleaner followed by the Lexol conditioner. After using them I think you will notice that the red becomes even more deep/rich. You can get Lexol stuff at Pep Boy's. Lexol and Conally products are supposedly some of the best you can get.

Thanks for the advice Clovis, I will give these a try. Anyone try Zaino's "Leather In A Bottle" treatment? If so, what is your opinion of it.

Thanks

I haven't used it yet, but I did purchase it. I asked around before I decided on it, and some people said that it removed dirt that other cleaners didn't...it's all a amtter of preference though.

I have been using the Zaino stuff on my car for a year now. I like the product very much. I cannot really comment on the seats turning color. I don't think anyone has owned this car long enough for that to happen. For me, living in Seattle it is doubtful there is enough regular sun to worry about.

Well, based on the fact that I am going to buy Zaino wax and polish I might as well try their leather products as well. Thanks for the advice.
