Focus ST matte wheel and leather care

[whirledpeaz]

New owner of a 2014 Focus ST with the recaro leather seats. I've got a couple of questions as to the care of the seats and the aftermarket wheels I have on.

I have the Lexol trio but I'm hesitant to use it because of the white stitching and embroidered logo on the seats. I'm concerned it will darken the stitching and logo.

I've replaced the factory wheels with TSW nurburgrings in matte gunmetal. I would like to find a product that didn't make them shiny or blotchy but still helped to repel brake dust.

I can easily slip into "analysis paralysis" because of the overwhelming selection of products available!

Thanks for any assistance folks!

The lexol trio is an alright products for now though once done with that look into leather masters leather care as for the stitching and embroidered wipe it down weekly with plain water and microfiber though when dirty use folex on a microfiber towel or brush to clean those areas and lastly the wheels you can use a sealant that's on hand or chemical guys matte sealant on the wheels and just wash the wheels weekly with car wash soap and water or chemical guys matte soap

I have a Focus ST with the ST3 package also. Believe me, your stitching isn't going to darken from the product you put on the seats. Not saying they won't darken, but it won't be from the product. I use the Lexol stuff and have not had a problem with mine, though the stitching is kind of dirty. The Logo has not darkened on my car at all, just the white around the bolsters.
The wheels I can't help you with sorry.

Enjoy the new car.
