Just became the proud owner of a new Cx3 2.0 Sports Nav+ AWD in machine grey.I went for the stone leather interior which I think looks great but am a bit concerned about keeping the seats in good condition..Any tips or feedback on the seats would be appreciated.I don't do huge mileage,about 8000 a year but obviously want to keep the leather in good order.Thanks in advance.Neil

Hi Neil and welcome to the forums. Sorry I can't help with the leather I avoid it if I can. I'm sure somebody on here will give you some suggestions. Enjoy your driving 😊

Welcome.
I've only ever used the leather cleaner in the Scotts cleaning kit that came with the car, and not very often. The leather looks like it did when we bought the car and wears extremely well.
The only issue with leather is that on the steering wheel which started to peel after about 40,000 miles. Now the steering wheel has been replaced under warranty I use a 3 in 1 leather care product on it every couple of weeks.

I had Mazda5 because I needed such a vehicle with wide sliding doors to accommodate my late wife who had suffered a severe stroke. The leather seats were given a once over now and then with some sort of wipes from Halfords. Not sure of the maker but after five years the leather was good as new. May have been Simoniz.
There was a kind of a bonus to this treatment. It made the leather quite slippery which allowed me to slide my wife in and out much more easily. Word of warning though, don't use it on steering wheel or gear shift as it may spoil grip.

Thanks for the welcome and advice.I've had cars with leather seats (usually black) so was a bit concerned about the really light colour.I seem to recall someone saying that the blue from his jeans discoloured the leather.Will purchase a good quality leather care kit and see how it goes.By the way absolutely loving the car a real pleasure to drive.Cheers
