    Just got my C4. What's the best way to maintain the Softex on the seats and steering wheel? I'm in California so the sun is going to bake on it a lot.

    The manual says:

    I have tried Armor All Leather Care spray on it, because I had it already. It didn't seem to have ill effects (YMMV: always test in an inconspicous area), but I doubt it is necessary on the Softex and see little reason to stray from the manual's advice, which will be cheaper anyway. It smelt nice though.

    Just used Lexol Vinyl and Plastic cleaner/protector. Looks great. Gives a depth to the Softex.

    I use turtlewax upholstery foam on mine. Works fine and smells good too.
