New Cadillac CTS-V Coupe leather

[MSOsr]

I've hung around here for years and am thinking about purchasing a 2011 CTS-V Coupe with the Recaro Ebony/Saffron seats. I would appreciate opinions from the experts about what leather care products to use to maintain the leather on these beautiful seats. I would also appreciate opinions as to the frequency of treatments on the leather.

Since you are not a professional, but a do-it-yourselfer, I would recommend whatever Cadillac recommends. That way if you screw them up you have something to do back on Cadillac with.

Very popular OTC leather product is Lexol. Get the orange and brown bottles (orange = cleaner brown = conditioner) and just follow the directions. I just switched over to Lexol from this 2-in-1 cleaner/conditioner by Armor All and I love the satin finish that the Lexol gives over the Armor All.

I have the Leatherique rejuvenator and pristine, as well as Leather Masters protection creme. I was looking more for guidance as to what to put on when.

I would agree with that. Or, try the products you have in an inconspicuous area first.

If you keep up with them regularly the Leather Masters is all you should need. Maybe clean with Leatherique Prestine Clean every 6 months or so.
