I just purchased a new 2015 Ford F-150 Platinum with Black Bordello Leather and don't want to ruin the natural look & softness. The leather has a flat almost textured look and feel. It has no shine and I think the Meguiar's leather care would totally change the beauty of the Bordello Leather.

How do you clean/conditioner even wipe down for that matter?
Would appreciate a Real Pro's take please

While I doubt the leather is unfinished leather like the kind found in earlier King Ranch pickup trucks, the same products and application techniques are applicable to your vehicle as well. What I'm saying in a polite way is don't be cheap and take your time! :dblthumb2:

I'd suggest going with Leather Masters Strong Cleaner and Protection Cream. :xyxthumbs:
 
Yes that is the Bordello Leather in the photo you posted. Here is a photo of my Black.
Thanks so much for your help.
2nd question, what do you recommend as far as wax or a sealant on the paint to protect its perfect condition being brand new?
 
I absolutely agree, and positively will not go cheap.
I will be purchasing the products you recommend and all my car care products from the Autogeek store from now on.
 
How often should I use a cleaner & conditioner on the leather & do you use anything in between times or just a micro fiber to wipe off dust?
 
Leather - I prefer Leather Masters like previously mentioned. For dust, Slightly damp microfiber to collect the dust.

As for protecting the paint on that beautiful high dollar truck, Have it coated. You will appreciate it overtime you look at it and wash it. I coated my black Road Glide and it was the best thing I could do for that paint. Ive coated customers cars and every single one of them loves it.
 
Thanks eaglefan,
When you say "coated" are you talking about a high gloss sealant like the Wolfgang or Klasse High Gloss Glaze or something totally different?

An example of a paint coating would be C Quartz, Gloss Coat, etc. Many to choose from.
 
Once you've coated your vehicle, is there still a need for waxing?
 
Finally...
