How do I properly maintain the leather seats in my BMW X5?

I just bought a BMW X5 and I want to make sure the leather seats stay in good condition. What type of products should I use to clean and protect them? How often should I clean them? Is there anything else I should do to maintain the leather?

You should use a leather cleaner specifically designed for automotive use. Avoid harsh chemicals and always follow the instructions on the product. It is recommended to clean your leather seats at least once a month to prevent any build-up of dirt or debris. Additionally, you can apply a leather conditioner every 3-6 months to keep the leather soft and supple.

I have found that using a microfiber cloth and warm water is effective in cleaning my BMW X5 leather seats. You can also use a mild soap if needed, but make sure to rinse it off completely. As for protection, it's best to park in shaded areas to avoid direct sunlight and use a leather conditioner every few months to prevent cracking and fading.

Investing in a leather protection spray is a good idea to prevent any spills or stains from ruining your seats. Also, if you have children or pets, consider using a seat cover to protect the leather from any potential damage. Finally, make sure to wipe down your seats with a clean, damp cloth after every long drive to prevent any dirt from settling into the leather.
