Hey everybody, other than just being careful... what do you all do to protect your vehicle’s leather interior?

Extremely good window tinting...as dark as legal. Plus, reflectix windshield cover. Once a year leather treatment rubbed in. I think it's lanolin based. Wish I could garage the GX but the wifes CRV and the RTT trailer take up that space. Also I plan to cut reflectix panels for both of the left side windows behind the driver and the right rear window. That way at work I can park where the sun will hit the side with the most protection. My '04 GX's leather is still in pretty good shape. So, fingers crossed.

I wish i took better care of my leather. It has cracks and such.
4 years old.
I do have some leather cleaner and protectant now, and might get covers, but they look terrible.

I am not sure i agree with that! I love my leather interior, easy to clean and durable!IMHO, leather seats and off road vehicles is a BAD mix.

I use the same leather treatment oil that I use for my leather jacket and hat. It’s kept them all in great shape for almost 9 years thus far and they show almost no signs of real wear.
However, if they did ever wear out adding seat covers is inexpensive and will provide years more use out of the seats!

Yeah im sure az sun is brutal. We get some hot sun here in socal too.Well, try the Arizona heat for a couple of seasons and see whats left of your seats.
I put Wet Oakley seat cowers on mine. Easy to clean no mess no fuss, I wouldn’t use them in AZ. Last about a week. Much cooler too.
