Lariat seats upkeep question

[Hdang1980]

While they aren't actual leather, what products would one use to clean and protect the active-x seats? Does it need to be conditioned like leather?

Looks like these active x seats are a winner if the article is to be believed. Regular vacuuming and the occasional soap and water to clean? Smash that easy button!

I keep mine soaked with Vaseline. At least 3mm thick at all times.











Edit: I'm just kidding BTW. Don't do that.

Vick's VapoRub is recommended to help with driver/passenger congestion and cold symptoms. It also keeps the rodents from gnawing on your Mav's wiring.

I am using the 303 cleaner and 303 protectant. It is fantastic!

Great big ole 2nd to the 303 product line. I use their products for lots of parts on my restored '86 Jeep Wagoneer XJ. Very good products. They have a rubber and sealer restorer/protector that is just fantastic for revitalizing firming rubber and trim pieces and/or protecting them for the long haul. Highly recommend.

I use Adam’s Leather and Interior Cleaner and their Leather Conditioner. Both are fine for vinyl.

Lexol leather cleaner is great stuff. I understand it's not leather but it's just a mild soap anyway. It made my Lariat seats look brand new again. And it's good to have around for the other leather you have around the house. The key to cleaning this type of material (vinyl and leather) is the brush. You need something that can get into the very fine contours of the material. A horsehair brush can do that. A microfiber just glides over the top.

303 protectant is a Go-To - I've been using it since new on the Active-X and interior and like how it goes on and holds up. At present I am closing in on 7K miles.

Well 2 people can't be wrong! I ordered last night, and just received today. Looking forward using them this weekend.
