How to Keep Beige and Oyster Clean

I bought my kid a car with an oyster colored interior and my cousin has a beige. Both are dirty as can be from just normal use. They aren't hauling anything other than typical stuff -- shopping bags, groceries, dry cleaning, books, and whatnot.

Has anyone found something that can be applied to leather that will keep the dirt from adhering to it? I realize there are any number of cleaning substances I can suggest. And I know there are several types of covers -- clear plastic (yuck!) and wool/sheepskin fleece (I use these on my car). Just wondering if someone has found a protective solution...something like Scotchguard for leather?

TY for input.

All the best.

You must have that E92-only color: cream beige.

It's just as bad.

TY. I've ordered some. It'll make a great stocking stuffer for them both.

Now let's just hope I don't by giving it to them have to also become their car care guru. LOL.

TY again.

Happy Holidays!

Gotta clean the seats really well before applying that though, so it doesn't seal in the dirt. look into Lexol products. use a soft brush with the cleaner, and the seats will definitely come clean. a complete kit can be found at autogeek. Then apply the cquartz fabric stuff.

Correct, OP you have to clean leather seats well and make sure they are dry. I would buy Blackfire All Pupose cleaner because you can use it to clean lot of things.
Please read this.

So,again,clean leather seats,make sure they are dry and then apply CQUARTZ Leather coat,make sure you wear glasses and put nose mask on. I always cover eyes with detailing glasses and nose and mouth with mask when I detail my car as precaution
