Any Recommendation on Leather Conditioner / Cleaner ?

[127.0.0.0]

Hi I just got a model 3 With White seats, Does anyone has any recommendation or experience with what leather conditioner is the best and how often to condition seats to make them last a very long time ? How would you treat and clean them ?

Thank You!

Considering the seats aren’t leather, I probably wouldn’t use leather conditioner on them.

I’ve found that Spray 9 or a mild mix Simple Green works well.

I’ve posted the documentation from Ultrafabric several times. I use the Clorox counter wipes to clean the seats with a little water and paper towel to remove any residue. That’s approximately what their instructions are.

There is no ‘conditioner’ for the ‘fabric’.

Here’s a pdf from their site:

I have had great results using 303 Aerospace cleaner and protector combo... (https://www.amazon.com/303-Aerospac...814&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=303+aerospace&psc=1)

I use the leather one and regular Protectant for anything non leather. I’m sure there is little difference but you never know

Tesla advises not to use any chemical products on the seat. There is already protective coating on the surface. You will only do more harm than good.

No idea about white seats but I love Home Page | Leatherique Restoration Products. Used it for years.

Interesting And Yes I do Have the white Vegan leather seats the Gen 2 Seats, So don't use anything I guess to condition them ? I heard some people are just using baby wipes To clean seats as needed but no one at least I know off has talked about conditioning the seats.

so far I just wipe it down with warm water, lets see how that works long term

Correct. Just a cloth dampened with water is fine.

Recommendation: Don't wear new blue jeans in the car. The dye from the jeans will bleed into the seats.

That has been shown to be cleaned with pretty much baby wipes, warm water, or ONR spray.

I use Meguiars Quik Interior Detailer Spray. It works on all the surfaces except the suede, has a nice smell, and leaves no film or residue over top. Not too expensive and they come in wipes if that is preferred.

One note on the wipes. The dispenser thingie they come in sucks. All the wipes dried out in less than one week after I opened it. Put them in a resealable bag if you don't want to have to re-hydrate them every time you go to use them.

I'm a little weirded out by the OP question, are people really thinking these cars have leather seats?

Even on most leather seats they are coated in a durable sealant almost like a clear coat for leather.... similar to what is on a shiny leather jacket. You really shouldn't need to condition/moisturize it at all.... just use a very mild cleaner on it.

Agreed. All containers like this have limited shelf life once opened. I prefer the spray and a microfiber cloth.

I would use a damp edgeless microfiber. If that doesn't suffice, either try adding some dish detergent diluted in warm water, or I prefer Griot's Garage Interior Cleaner because its very mild. Some people use ONR, I haven't tried that. I like to keep it as simple and mild as possible.

The seats aren't leather.

Baby wipes have worked on just about everything.

Ever seen a car a few years old with cracking or spider veined seats? That’s from lack of conditioning. The seat is just another version of skin and the environment, humidity, etc., takes its toll. Baby wipes are a cleaner. They aren’t a conditioner nor are they particularly gentle.

How do you condition plastic? The seats are vegan - plastic.


Question - have you ever conditioned vegan seats before? I don't know of any car that uses Tesla's material. Its NOT leather.

Some people use ONR, I haven't tried that. I like to keep it as simple and mild as possible.

After cleaning the outside with ONR I use the remaining clean mixture to clean the seats (and entire interior for that matter... Including the center screen!) with a fresh microfiber towel.
