All
AGLA items, along with the other leather products in your vehicle should
be properly treated every 6-8 weeks with a quality leather cleaner/conditioner.
This will make your car's interior last for years, looking like new. Proper
care of your leather products will delay the splitting, cracking, and
overall wearing out of the leather. It will supply you with an elastic,
supple and luxurious interior.
Never use any silicone-based product, such as Armor All or Son Of A Gun!, to clean your leather products! Silicone-based products look nice initially, but actually shorten the life of any leather product. Silicone based products will split and crack your leather in a short time.
Using silicone-based products will void the AGLA factory warranty. Silicone-based products put side-by-side cracks in the leather; this is not a normal leather wear pattern. If you use a detail shop, be sure to find out which products they use to clean leather.
Silicone-based products however do work great for rubber, vinyl and plastic.
AGLA recommends the following leather cleaning and conditioning products:
1) Lexol Cleaner/Conditioner -

AGLA recommends the following leather cleaning and conditioning products:
1) Lexol Cleaner/Conditioner -
- You don't need to purchase both the cleaner and conditioner.
- If your leather is dirty or losing color, use Lexol cleaner to bring back some color.
- Lexol
Conditioner is excellent for all sorts of quick detailing.
- A wax
paste applied with a rag. An excellent product to bring old
leather back to life.
- If your leather has a stubborn stain, simply use basic soap and water.
- Just like washing your hands, it can get out some bad stains.
- The wet
area will look stained at first—don't
panic! Allow the area to dry completely and the stain will soon be gone.
Follow up with leather cleaner.
Warning:
When rubbing leather with a cleaner, don't overdo it. You may end up rubbing through the surface of the leather and destroying it. Should that occur, let it dry and consider getting an upholstery expert to look at your product. There are upholstery shops all around the country that can match any leather color. Ask a friend or car club members, they may know of a good shop in your area.
If you have a tear, especially in your seats, an upholstery shop can do wonders by filling up the tear and matching the color. If you have multiple tears and the foam support is gone, you may need to have major upholstery work done. There are also limitations as to what can be done with a worn-out steering wheel. AGLA may be the only company that restores wheels to OEM specifications. See our Loaner Wheel Program.
