I am going to take my bucket seats out for the winter and go back to regular seats... while taking them off, I thought it's a good time to care for leather as well.

What's the best way to care for the leather, specially on these bucket seats (feel a bit different, higher quality than regular seats). What's the best product, cleaner, conditioner, protector?

Stay away from products that contain petroleum as they tend to make leather sticky and greasy looking.

My personal products of choice are Pinnacle Leather & Vinyl Cleaner followed by Pinnacle Leather Conditioner. The cleaner does an exceptional job removing ground-in dirt and grime, but it's still pH-balanced so it won't remove leather's natural oils. The conditioner is lanolin based (smells GREAT) so it doesn't leave the surface slippery or greasy. Best of all, unlike petroleum-based leather conditioners, Pinnacle Leather Conditioner is actually beneficial for the stitching; it won't cause the stitching to break down over time.

Both products are also available in a complete interior care kit - Pinnacle Concours Interior Kit

I would go with

Leather Master Strong Cleaner-->
Leather Master Vital Conditioner--->

finish with Leather Master Protection Cream.

We have been using these products for over 10 years on cars we have in the shop as well as our own personal cars, Porsches, Audis, BMW's etc with amazing results.

Thanks, are those better than Sonax or Lexol products?

Also, where is it made at? and can it also be used for home furniture?

I agree with Phil on the Leather Master Strong Cleaner. The vital is ok but I prefer Leatherique Pristine Clean for conditioning.

sure thing it's made in Italy.

you can use it on furniture and leather goods like your shoes etc.

you can not use the above for alcantara.
