Hi, just wondering what you guys use to clean and protect your leather seats? I want to keep them in great condition just never had leather seats to look after, so don't know what the best products are for cleaning and conditioning them, is the zaino stuff good? I know AG do one too, all help would be appreciated

Don't they need to be conditioned now an again to keep them supple and slow down the ageing of the seats, heard the wipes can make the seats very slippery haha

Generally i do them every 12 months ( or when a mark appears ) to keep the moisture in like you said. Its to stop them going dry and tearing/ripping/rubbing away.

zymol is a good easy cleaner, I also use soap flakes but then also use a proper leather care from Meguiars or AG etc.

Thanks guys, I've purchased some swissvax leather cleaner and raceglaze leather conditioner, meant to be highly rated like swissvax leather milk just cheaper, so will be treating the seats when it arrives used swissvax products before and they are very very good just expensive but want good stuff to look after the interior, is poorboys natural dressing any good? Most dash cleaners leave nasty sticky feel and too oily
