Hey fellow honda owners!

I currently own a '06 type S and the leather seems to be pretty low quality causing it to crack pretty easily. I'm wondering if I'm the only one. I just use hand moisturizer for the seats once in a while to prevent the leather from being dry.



does anyone have the same problem?



thanks in advance.

Im not sure if hand moisturizer is the product you should be using. From what i know, you should get a pH neutral leather cleaner and use it to give the leather a thorough clean to get rid of all the crap that has built up in the skin. Then use a leather conditioner to replace the natural oils that have been lost over time due to wear.

I find the leather to be of decent quality. I dont daily drive my car, and my seats are now residing in my foyer LOL but good to moistrise them every 6 months though

Type S leather quality is pretty terrible. Really easy to crack compared to quality leather. I think funworld is right with needing to use ph neutral leather cleaner.
Anyone know if any of the leather maintaining products at retailers like supercheap are worth getting?
