Leather Cleaning & Conditioning
Leather Care at Jacksons restores the look, feel, and durability of your vehicle’s leather surfaces. Arizona’s heat and sun exposure are especially harsh on leather, causing cracking, fading, and dryness. Our Leather Care service cleans, conditions, and protects your interior so your seats stay soft, smooth, and comfortable for years.
What damages leather interiors?
Arizona is one of the hardest environments on leather interiors. Daily sun exposure, heat cycles, and desert dust all accelerate wear and tear. Leather that’s not regularly cleaned and conditioned becomes dry, stiff, and prone to cracking—especially on seats, steering wheels, and armrests.
Interior heat inside a parked car can exceed 150 degrees. This drains moisture from leather, removes natural oils, and causes stitching to weaken. Even newer vehicles can show signs of damage within a year if leather isn’t properly maintained.
Leather Care helps counter these issues by:
Rehydrating leather so it stays soft and flexible
Removing body oils, dirt, sunscreen residue, and stains
Protecting surfaces from UV damage
Preventing cracking, fading, and premature wear
Restoring the natural look and feel of your interior
For Arizona drivers, Leather Care is essential maintenance—not just a cosmetic upgrade.
What Leather Care Includes
Pre-Inspection and Testing
We inspect leather surfaces for dryness, color fading, cracking, stains, and wear. If needed, we test products on a small area to ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s leather type.
Dry Cleaning and Dust Removal
We begin with a thorough vacuum to remove dust, sand, and loose debris from seats, seams, and stitching. Removing debris prevents abrasion during the cleaning process.
Deep Leather Cleaning
We use pH-balanced cleaners specifically formulated for automotive leather. These products lift oils, dirt, sweat, spills, and sunscreen without stripping the leather or causing discoloration. Brushes and microfiber tools help reach textured surfaces and seams.
Conditioning and Moisturizing
Conditioners are applied to rehydrate the leather, restoring suppleness and preventing cracking. This step is key in Arizona’s climate, where heat rapidly dries out natural materials.
Protection and UV Shielding
A protective sealant may be applied to help guard against UV rays, friction wear, and future staining. This keeps leather softer and cleaner for a longer period.
Finishing and Touch-Ups
We complete the service with final wiping, seam cleaning, and trim refreshing to ensure a consistent, uniform finish across all surfaces.
What Leather Care Can Improve
Dryness and Stiffness
Conditioning restores moisture to dry leather, making it softer and more flexible.
Surface Dirt and Stains
Deep cleaning removes built-up grime, surface spots, and oils that dull the leather’s appearance.
Minor Cracking
While Leather Care cannot fully repair severe cracks, it can soften and improve the look of light cracking.
Fading and Discoloration
Conditioning and cleaning can deepen color tones and revive the leather’s original appearance.
Odor Removal
Removing oils and dirt helps reduce unpleasant smells trapped in leather pores.

Why Leather Fails in Arizona
Because of high temperatures, low humidity, and intense UV exposure, Arizona leather failure happens faster than in other regions. Common issues include:
Hardening and stiffness when moisture is lost
Cracking from both heat cycles and dryness
Bleaching and fading from sunlight
Sweat and sunscreen staining
Accumulation of oils that break down leather finish
Before and After Results
Professional Leather Care produces visible improvements. Seats feel softer, look cleaner, and show improved color depth. Cracking may appear less noticeable and surfaces regain a natural matte or low-gloss finish depending on original factory style.
