conditioning BMW leather seats - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

I'm just trying to get some people's opinions on conditioning BMW leather seats. How often do you clean/condition your BMW leather seats and which products do you use to do so? I drive my car about 300 miles per week. How often should I condition my driver seat?

I clean and condition mine every three months using Lexol cleaner and conditioner. In between, I just wipe down as needed.

What brush do you use ? I have slacked and it is quite grim now. I tried using lexol with microfiber towels but its a lot of elbow work and does not really come clean.

Detailed Image sells a really good leather brush for cheap that could possibly help. If the seats are pretty dirty you'll need to use a combination of the brush and microfiber towels with the Lexol to get them clean. If you have light colored leather it could take some time to get them back to clean.

I've used Zaino leather conditioner (Z-10) about every 3 months and it works great. I wipe down the seats with a damp towel more frequently. I occasionally clean the leather with Zaino leather cleaner (Z-9).

I just did the two step Leatherique system a few months ago. Will probably do it again in the spring when it gets hot enough out to work properly.
