Hi Guys, anyone have any recommendations about the white leather on the driver's seat discoloring? Its turning a little gray. This is the nicest truck I've ever had so I'm not someone who's had leather in my car before, so just checking if I'm missing anything that I should be doing to care for it.

I don't know much about white leather anything. Seems like a terribly difficult thing to keep clean. In general I usually use Saddle Soap to clean and condition leather and it usually does a great job. If I were you that's what I'd try, in a small inconspicuous spot to test it out of course.

First step thats very important is to verify it is just dirt or contamination and not actually a wearing away of the color layer. You wouldn't want to try and scrub hard to clean the "dirt" off of an area where the color layer is already wearing away.

But if you've inspected it and its just dirty id follow these general guidelines:

1. Use a ph balanced interior cleaner, spray the affected area and use a soft bristle brush to work it in the area. Follow this by a using a clean microfiber cloth to thoroughky wipe down the area.

2. Then lightly spray the area with some 303 Aerospace Protectant. Wipe down with a separate microfiber cloth until all excess is removed.
