New F-150-Leather Care

[explorerlyon]

Just purchased a 2013 F-150 FX4. Love it! What do you suggest for leather care for NEW leather without taking away the new-car smell?

I have a bottle of Pinnale Leather Conditioner that I use on my other vehicles. I have a bottle of Leather Master Car Interior Leather Protection Cream I have also used in the past.

I don't mind buying something else to try either. With new leather, I am mostly concerned with protection of the leather, not rejuvenating old leather.

I have the same truck, except in blue. You will love it. I use Mothers Reflection leather care, works great.

My advice to you is to protect the leather with a coating. I would assume that this is a new truck and that it has little mileage. A quick clean (with a good leather cleaner) and coating would be the way to go. No need for conditioners at this time. In about 6 months to a year (depending on usage, cleaning regimentation, etc...) then you may need to condition and recoat, but at this time it should be pretty straight forward.

If it is a dark leather, I would say either Pinnacle coating or CQuartz Leather and Fabric. I would offer the option of Gtechnic but I haven't tried mine yet
