Meguiars is cheap and very effective. Smells great, too!

You can fix these if you like.

Leather filler will take care of the cracking (though yours isn't bad) and a heat gun or hair dryer can be moved over the surface to shrink the leather and tighten it up in the seat and back. I'd do that before it gets much worse. There are youtube videos about it.

Also, keep the leather cleaned and conditioned regularly! I've used many different products, and this is my favorite. Leatherique is better, but much harder to use. Lexol is also quite good, but I like the Meguiar's a little better.

Edit: Forgot to mention that any leather cleaner and conditioner you use will need some agitation to really get it worked in and doing its best work.

So excited to be joining the Tesla family today (delivery in Costa Mesa this afternoon!)

I’m getting a TM3 with black interior. Does anyone know if those seats are also vegan leather, or are they real leather? Any idea if this is safe to clean the seats?

Are armorall wipes safe for the dashboard?

Maaaan I just got done ogling this car over at /r/Ford and now you gotta make me jelly over here...

Again, Dad just got one of these, too. We've been treating the leather with this stuff, and it's looking pretty sharp. Congrats again on the truck!!

Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner & Conditioner

I have a similar car (02 540i M Package) and most likely similar leather.

I've said this in another thread a while back but I tried at least four different cleaners/conditioners from my local auto stores and found Meguiars Gold to work the best.

I used that in combination with a soft bristle nail cleaner. I guess a toothbrush would work well too. This spray is cheap enough to warrant a try I guess.

My seats are light grey but where almost brownish when I bought her from the dirt and grim. I like meguiars over the others I used because it was a thicker consistency and "ran" less. It also sprayed as a light blue color and would turn brown with grime as I worked it into the leather with the brush.

Check out Larry from Ammo on youtube he had a good video about cleaning leather that might be worth watching.

Good luck

If you want something simple and easy to use, try Meguiar's Leather Cleaner & Conditioner. Can be found on Amazon (which I linked), or at Target/Walmart.

No, it's not as dedicated or strong in cleaning or protection as other products, but because it's a simple spray + wipe cleaner, you can easily clean/condition the entire interior within minutes.

I use it on my White Parchment Leather in my Mazda3 weekly.

I'd say no to the cover- you bought the seats so enjoy them!. What I'd do is head down to a local auto store and purchase leather interior cleaner and conditioner - something like this https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G10916-Leather-Cleaner-Conditioner/dp/B0002V9IFU

Along with this get some microfiber towels to use when cleaning the seats. You can always get the cover if you destroy the seats in 10 years . I'd use the seats and leather for you, not the next owner.

For wax you can spread it however you like. Machines (dual orbital polishers) are better, but if you're happy with hand wax results don't bother spending more $$. Again, I tend to like meguiars, you can check out their liquid and paste waxes. From what I remember the liquid is easier to apply. Again, grab some more microfibers. Every 6 months should suffice

If you plan on carrying supplies keeping a blanket is a great idea. Also if you are in a in a cold climate you can keep a blanket - but I wouldn't worry about EVER getting stranded in a well-maintained corolla (key: follow the maintenance schedule and don't skip stuff!!!)

ALSO: WASH THE CAR EVERY 2 WEEKS. Even though you can't see a lot of grime its there. This will prevent it from rusting up a la monte carlo

Enjoy the new car !

I bought this based on recommendations : https://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G10916-Leather-Cleaner-Conditioner/dp/B0002V9IFU/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1474904560&sr=8-7&keywords=maguires+auto+products

I like it.

Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0002V9IFU

The spray is a bit more diluted than a good cream leather cleaner, but it works. Buff well with a cloth while applying. Maybe try a q-tip or a toothpick for the holes if stuff remains.

Does it have any difference which color is the leather? I think it is pretty much stupid question :-) But I have no idea, how to maintain it. My car leather is beige.

I have tinted windows, but it mostly in the sun when I am at work.

I guess this is what you've suggested: http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G10916-Leather-Cleaner-Conditioner/dp/B0002V9IFU

1. I use Meguiar's Gold Class 3 in 1 Leather Cleaner + Conditioner + Protectant. I got it at Walmart. Couldn't find link for Amazon, but this is what I used before, just doesn't have the protectant in it.
   
   
2. I use Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer. Since you don't want that "greasy" look and feel make sure you don't get the Meguiar's Ultimate Interior Detailer - I bought that once and I still have it, just not good, smells kind of funky too. After you use Quik Interior Detailer, just like lanmansa said, put some 303 Aerospace on it to protect the vinyl, plastic, etc. It has a matte finish, no greasy look or feel.
   
   
3. Brushes - I bought this make up brush at icing, it's called "Expert Brush". I might get shot down for this, but it works good. I don't really use it unless I have to.
   
   
4. I bought these. They're pack of 50 for $20. I only use them for interior or engine bay. However, DO NOT use them on your paint.
   
   
5. I don't have a steam machine, but lanmansa posted a good link referring Larry.
   
   Hope this helps :)
   
   Edit: If some things are really tough to remove, use diluted isopropyl alcohol down to 10-20%. Should be able to get rid of anything you encounter that isn't getting cleaned or removed.
   
   Edit2: Fixed brackets for links.

Use Meguiar's for the seats every few months.

Wash is, you guessed it, a Meguiar's product.

For a wax, I really like the NXT 2.0, also from Mequiar's.

Dash protectant, I use 303.

Now, for washing, you want to always use (2) buckets, each with a grit-guard at the bottom. One bucket is a rinse bucket for your cleaning mitt. You dip your wash mitt in the rinse bucket (which is just water) before dipping into the soap bucket each time you do a different section of the car. Helps to minimize swirling and contaminants ruining your paint.

Don't go in a swirling pattern when washing the car, instead, go in straight lines back and forth.

After rinsing the car down, take your drying towel and lightly drag it in straight lines across the difference sections of the car. You don't need to apply pressure, just let it lightly drag across the car. You will see a light layer of water left after dragging the towel across. That's fine, it will dry quickly and gives the towel some lubrication which also minimizes scratching.

Ammo is a boutique brand. His products are very well made and do the job just fine, but can be a bit pricey. I save them for my personal vehicle.

This is what I use on leather surfaces have had no issues with it. Smells great, cleans well, and leaves behind no greasy feel. The leather feels very smooth afterwards.
