Soap and water first, then Lexol is good, topped off with Leather Milk. Let is soak in for a good 12 hours and you're good to go.

Say no to Armor-All.

I'm assuming you are talking about the fake leather (Nuluxe)? I use Mothers VLR. Works awesome, smells awesome, and not greasy at all. It's also cheap and available at almost any automotive store.

I second this. After reading through the forums, I tried the VLR and can say I'm pleased with the results.

Been using Zaino since I stopped using Lexol. Better product in every way IMO.

I can also very highly recommend this product:
https://www.colourlock.com/vinyl-set.html
"This is usually sufficient for the treatment of one complete car interior or set of furniture" - I've used my set 3 times and I figure it's good for another 2.

Very easy to use and leaves the seats looking absolutely factory fresh + a very nice new-car'ish odour.

I've tried several other products meant for cleaning and maintaining Nuluxe seats, but none of them have passed my high standards when it comes to interior cleaning.
