I'm not getting any suggestions in the detail forum so I thought I would ask here.

What do you all use to keep your seat looking new?

I know Armor All is a no-no, but there has to be something out there that won't make the seat slippery.

I use a leather seat cleaner and potectant. I've tried several different brands, but seem to like the Mequairs the best. And I know I spelled that wrong, sorry.

On a vinyl seat I found nothing works as well as Aerospace 303. It's a little hard to find. Most marine stores carry it or it can be gotten online. It claims to have the best UV protection on the market. It doesn't leave a slippery feel or an overly glossy appearance. I use it on all the plastic exterior trim on my car also.

For leather, any decent leather food will work well. I keep Lexol in the house.

I never use anything on my seat and it looks new. I hate the stock seat but it still looks good.

What do you use the mink oil on,leather?
