How to Care for the Leather Interior of a Nissan Car

Leather interiors can give your Nissan a luxurious feel unmatched by ordinary cloth upholstery. While many people are anxious to experience the look and feel of leather interior for themselves, the amount of care and maintenance required to keep your leather interior looking its best can sound a bit discouraging. Luckily, the care and maintenance for your leather Nissan interior is actually quite simple. Your leather interior will benefit most from light, as needed, cleanings with thorough detailing every 3 months. Proper care and maintenance can help you avoid common leather problems such as cracking and fading.

Things You'll Need

  • Soft bristled brush
  • 4 cotton or microfiber cleaning cloths
  • Bucket
  • Mild liquid soap
  • Leather protector cream
  • Windshield shade
  • Use a soft bristled brush to remove dirt and dust that has accumulated on your Nissan's leather interior. Be gentle when brushing away the dirt and dust to avoid scratching the leather interior in your car.

  • Dip a soft cotton cloth in warm, soapy water and wring out the excess water. Use the damp cotton cloth to wipe down the leather interior in your Nissan. Wipe away any moisture left on the seats with a soft, dry cotton cleaning cloth.

  • Apply a leather protector cream product to a soft, dry cleaning cloth, and use the cloth to spread the leather protector in a thin, even layer over the surface of your leather interior. Allow the leather protector cream to soak into the leather interior according to the directions on the package.

  • Place a windshield shade in the windshield of your Nissan when your car is parked in direct sunlight. The windshield shade will help prevent your leather interior from fading in the sun.

  • Clean up any food or drinks spilled on your Nissan leather interior as soon as possible. Wipe away the spilled food or beverage with a soft, dry cotton cleaning cloth. Repeat Step 2 to remove any remaining residue from the leather interior in your Nissan car.
