"  I just bought my first really nice car, a BMW 335i, and I want to make sure the leather interior stays pristine. What&amp;#039;s the best way to maintain it? The bulk of wear on leather surfaces comes from the abrasive quality of built-up dirt, but cowhide also loses essential oils and UV protectants over time that need to be replaced. Ignore leather care and the surface finish will dull and cracks will begin to form.   Fortunately, it&amp;#039;s fairly easy to keep your seats clean. To start, set up a monthly or quarterly interior-maintenance reminder on your phone. There are plenty of one-step cleaner and conditioners on the market, in lotion, spray, or wipe form. They all work roughly the same way: A gentle oil helps remove dirt and keeps the leather supple. If you&amp;#039;re more obsessive, you can buy dedicated products for each step and use a leather conditioner more frequently than a cleaner. Avoid vinyl cleaners as well as those with petroleum-based solvents or siliconethey&amp;#039;ll leave your leather looking too shiny. Most high-end products give the leather a low gloss similar to its original appearance. If you have perforated leather, stay away from lotion-based stuff as it can get stuck in the tiny holes and dry white. Also, don&amp;#039;t forget to read all the instructions.
