      I use the cleaner and balm set from Pure Definition. See detailing section for details on forum discount.

      Think they are all basically the same regardless what make. It has to clean and nourish the leather.

        Once every 3 months I use Nivea cream to prevent from splits on the leather seats , steering wheel, gear stick cover etc.

        Just apply Nivea cream on the surface leave it for few hours / overnight, swipe when finished.

            For years and years, I've used the same product on all the cars I've had leather.
            My dad was a time served panelbeater who served his time with a Jaguar dealer. The tip came from an old guy who was the upholsterer who my dad served his time with in the early 60's.

            Now.....I laughed when my dad used to treat his seats with it, then I tried it and now after all these years, I swear by it.

            Coconut oil.
            If you can't get it, then coconut conditioner.

            Not only does it clean, shine and nourish the leather, but it also has a nice fragrance in the car.

            Now read it and laugh.....and then try it.

            I did.

                Aye, but you buff it off with your clothes.

                Obviously....you then buff it off after a wee while.
                It shines but it's certainly not slippy.
