Title: Leather Seat Care
Post by: Radar on 15 June 2011, 22:23:51

As above - i'm interested in what members uses to care for their leather seats? I don't mean to clean them because they are not dirty but to condition them for maximum life and reduce creasing on the right hand drivers side. I've read leather feeders are good like connollys but would value the experience of others.

My seats are the "old" type leather seats (light grey) if that makes sense?

Thanks in advance

I use both the 2 products from Autoglym...give them a good clean over with the spray on liquid cleaner to remove all the old stuff and dirt in the leather,then a good coat of the cream cleaner and a light buff up after with a soft terry style towel.

Any areas where colour is fadding I go over with boot cleaner but the mine are black leather.

i give them a good clean every 6 months or so and apply the leather cream every 2-3 months .Kepps them nice and supple and as with leather it gets better with age,although I don,t really think GM or Recaro used the best quality leather on the sports seats.Anyway they do look nice when done and also smell really nice.

Hi - Gliptone is well worth a look - I was put onto it by another forum member and think it's pretty good! you get a cleaner and a conditioner which brings back the leather smell too. It won't repair cracked or worn leather but it will prevent leather cracking as it feeds into it and makes it a little more flexible.

I've always used turtlewax platinum leather conditioner and think it's good. Where do you guys get Gliptone from?
