Jizz, whats the longest you have kept a car?
Im not saying only cleaning with water is bad, over two-three years you probably wouldnt notice anything I dont think, but after 5 or 6 I think you would.
I had a 95 Impala SS. cheap leather interior. I always used Lexol. I put 50,000+ miles on it in 6 years. when I sold it the seats looked brand new.
My dad bought his 95 SS a month after I did. He never put anything on the seats. After 3 years and 20,000 miles his seats looked like they were 10 years old. After 9 years now they look a good bit worse. Ive finally started putting something on his seats when he drives the car to visit since I try to detail it for him each time. Id say over a long time it will make a difference.
Hum, you may have a point there...over the long haul it may make a difference. But I will not have a car 10 years
-- 5 at the most. So only water for my seats.
