Question for the detailers!

After trying a few different conditioners and cleaners, I can't find one that will bring back the smell of the leather. It's there, but its very very faint. Autoglym leather care balm seemed to work very well but again, no real smell. Same as the Meguiars but this made the seats feel odd. Not as nice as the Autoglym. I'm after something that keeps them soft and supple like the AG, but has that leather smell to it.

Cheers.

Right bit of a thread hijack but didn't seem wise to start another one! My dad has bought a silvery blue Peugeot 407SW (rather nice place to be actually) as the run around car. The paint is... ok at best. It's obviously just been tarted up by the garage but it really needs a good correcting. I'm really in need a top up of cleaning bits for the Omega too so this is my justification for the price! The plan is...

Attack with bug and tar remover.
Rinse.
Clay it (Basics of Bling clay bars).
Polish (Poorboys SSR2).
Glaze (Poorboys White Diamond).
Seal (Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection - already got loads of this).
2 coats of wax (Autoglym HD wax - Got half of a tub left).

Now still being a bit of a detailing amateur, I may have got things in the wrong order, or put too many of something in. For example not sure about the polish AND the glaze. Normally with the Omega I wash it after a claying (only done this once though) seal it with AG EGP then wax it with the HD Wax. If it's just a top up I'll just wax it and miss the EGP. But for the Peugeot (which really could benefit from a machine polish but it's not going to get one) will this sort it out? There are a fair few swirls on the paint and bird crap marks on the roof that won't come off etc. Think that, in that order will sort it out? My dad really didn't want to change cars but push came to shove and really want to make this one look its best for him.

As far as i know, if the swirls were made by a machine polisher then only a machine polisher will remove them - ideally a Dual Action jobby rather than just a rotary.

Has this Peugeot got leather seats then mate as your post has nothing to do with OPs original post

I am the OP - just didn't want a bollocking for starting too many threads! But yes, well, half leather.

Hmmm if you really want the smell of leather in there get your Mrs in there in her high heeled leather boots 

Personally agree with TB on getting rid of leather seats myself.

Sorry only joking of course, re the boots.

Can second Gliptone, used it on Bimmers and Jags and Suite indoors and definitely give you that new leather smell
