Leather Care

What do you guys with Leather do to look after your seats etc?

I've been using Zanolin but I'm really not impressed with it.

I used that on my old soarer, found it to be slimey and smelly... In saying that the leather looked better and better everytime I used it.

I'm thinking about trying the Pinnacle leather conditioner.

Agreed 100% Slimey goes away, so does the smell after a couple of days(don't mind the smell actually). Applied it last w'end and had to drive it to work on Friday. It stunk and was slippery but didn't even register this morning when I went for a spin to Springwood :mrgreen:

I emailed the guy who owns Waxit and he suggested Pinnacle, it's what he uses in his Golf R32.

I'll give that a go and let you know how it is.

Try the automotive leather cleaner and conditioner pack from Fibrenew.

Works a treat on our lounge chairs.
