Yeah perhaps I should have thought that through better

I only do night trunks these days, but did the rock n roll stuff for 10 years and on that it was the norm to be away 3-4 months at a time. I did get some funny looks in the supermarket when I did my pre tour shop

Baby wipes can damage leather

Can you back that up? Personally Ive seen a Jaguar steering wheel leather top coat damaged by over use of baby wipes, here's an article on why they are not good for leather.

Although people tend to think of them as fairly gentle products because they are used on babies, they are actually designed to neutralize the acid of the urine and faeces which if left on the skin can increase in strength. As leather should be cleaned with a fairly neutral pH cleaner baby wipes (in most cases) do not fulfill this criteria and the strength of them will act to break down the finish if used on a regular basis.
A lot of baby wipes also contain alcohol which although used during some cleaning processes on leather it will break down the finish over time if used repeatedly. Most people who use baby wipes do not simply use them once but over and over again and it is this repeated action that will break down the finish and cause it to peel off. There are often other ingredients in baby wipes that will not be able to be absorbed buy the leather finish (oils, silicones, etc.) and these will remain on the surface attracting more dirt which is also a cause of finish failure.

I don't disagree with what you are saying hear. However I regularly use baby wipes to clean the interior and even the engine bay, (ye sad I know), I also use leather nurishing wipes, but only every once in a while. Thus far there have been no I'll effects on my leather.

Eight years in now, so I recon they do more good cleaning, than harm, whatever the articles say.

Never had an issue either. The baby wipes we have are ph neutral, not that I’ve checked that until today.

Over use of any product could cause damage so I’d take the above with a pinch of salt. Marketing puff to sell leather specific product imo.
