Leather seat sealant / conditioner

TiresOnFire · 11-05-2014, 04:34 AM

Any recommendations for new and routine sealants / conditioner for oyster (nearly white) convertible seats? Thank you.

Soap and water, they are painted so need to condition etc.

Thanks HFW003, isn't there anything that I should apply to help keep the oyster looking clean and unmarred for a long time?

You're welcome.

There is, AFAIK, nothing other than regular cleaning to keep Oyster clean.

I know as I have had it in my two F30's for two years now

Thank you. Soap and water it is. I'll fill just to the level of the sunroof, and nothing more...

I have oyster in my E90, and can confirm that routine leather cleaner (soap and water) is all you need.

For cleaning, I use a concentration of 20% Gel based hand soap & 80% hot water. The hot water breaks down the soap, I would spray on and scub with a fine brush to agitate the surface.

If the surface is extremely dirty, I wrap a cloth around a steam cleaner and clean the surface to remove dirt and grime.

Conditioner wise I use Meguiars Gold conditioner to rejuvenate the leather soft texture.

Good detail, thanks!

I have Oyster in my 5 Series and agree- soap and water. However, I use Megauirs Gold Interior Cleaner which includes leather and provides some conditioning. Also, do it lightly, often to prevent staining.
