Favoured leather cleaning and conditioning products

Zymol leather cleaner, work it in with a soft shoe brush and wipe away the dirt with a cloth. Amazing stuff and gets rid of the shiny leather look caused by dye, dirt and sweat accumulations.

No need for a conditioner?

Yes but I don't have any particular recommendation for a conditioner. I tried a lot of leather cleaners to get rid of the shiny look of 11 year old leather and the Zymol did it effortlessly.

Apparently liquid leather do dyes for badly worn areas? Mines not that bad tho...

A lot depends here on actual colour & obviously condition as in does it need cleaning & sealing or does it need colouring ?
If black then you are on a winner as 99p black liquid shoe dye works a treat to colour the white bits

I've used shoe polish before but that wears off over a period of time. Thankfully my seats are black, but after cleaning they do show up the marks a lot.
Shoe dye it is then.

I recommend Dr Leather wipes for convenience and ease of use. They clean really well and leave a nice matt finish. You can then add a prtoection which prevents dye trnasfer from clothing. Depending on your .leather type there is usually no need to condition it. Most modern automotive leathers are coated. If you apply a conditioner this just sits on the coating attracting more dirt and is what gives the shine to the leather.

Have a look at their website http://www.drleather.com/Leather-Cleaners/Our-Leather-Cleaner-Range.aspx plus I've always found them very helpful with advice

I must admit I use the kit that came with my leather settee and baby wipes (which contain lanolin) for spills/marks.

Link below says not to use lanolin? (Avoid products with Neatsfoot oil, lanolin, mink oil, collagen, aloe) Hmmm! I'm sure I've seen a product or two using the oils as well.

Confusing it is! The first well known car leather product I googled says "Leather Forever is a lanolin based product that is made up from a gentle blend of natural soap, oils and waxes" :lol:

Meguiars also has a conditioner that contains aloe vera.

I used to use gliptone (still use their cleaner), but now i use some more generic conditioner (so also ment for leather furneture and such) that is based on wax(beeswax I think) which I found under my parents' kitchen sink...(I think its some traditional product from germany...)

I just use Johnson baby wipes on the interior including the leather.
