I recently purchased a new-to-me 3yr old Kia that has a black leather interior. I would like to know what the best practice is for care and maintenance. I used to use a damp cloth occasionally on my Acura and my Oldsmobile followed by some leather conditioner but found it made the leather shiny and slippery. I would also like to remove a few of the creases that are starting to show up in the driver’s seat and generally make the leather look a little more appealing than the current matte finish that appears to be so popular in modern cars.

I’ve been pretty happy with Lexol products (cleaner and conditioner) – it brings the appearance back to how it was new (I have a black leather interior in my car, as well). For creases, steam/hot water might help… also – keep in mind that most of the seat is not leather, generally just the seating surface/center panels – the rest is usually artificial leather. There are some nice videos on youtube on cleaning/caring for leather that might be worth checking out.
