Treating / cleaning leather seats?

#1 by Yoda , Sun Nov 04, 2012 6:34 pm

What's the best way to clean and treat leather seats? Restore moisture and suppleness etc? Any good DIY treatments? There are varying arguments about the use of Olive oil.

I have some stuff called Mcquires for leather seats, used it on my old L200.
Really easy to use and they came up a treat.

Is that a cleaner or a leather conditioner?

Easiest way to clean leather seats is to get the wife to do it! They always know best!

It sounds silly as its utterly amazing on bike leathers but iv never thought to use it in a car ???

Bought a kit from a show literally years ago and it just lasts for ever!

I have 2 problems with this

1. I don't have a wife (and have no intention of ever having one)
2. I doubt that very much ......

Think i'm going to opt for the Maguiars stuff. I like the idea of one treatment to clean and condition. Plus two other sources I asked also recommended it.

we use baby wipes on all our sofas in the shop. cleans them up nicely and gives them a nice shine and also makes them soft to the touch.

you could always try some saddle cleaners too?
