What do you use to maintain your leather?

Leatherique is the best by far!

 

I use Leather in a Bottle from Zaino Bros.

 

Leatherique, great stuff but a bit messy to use. It did wonders for my car when I first got it. Interior is back to new condition with a minimum of fuss. The scent of the car it unchanged...........

Zymol

 

I use Autoglym which is made in England.

They use it on the Bentleys, Rolls Royce, Aston Martin etc etc.

Good stuff and very happy.

 

Detailing for just over 20 years,
I used to solely utilize Lexol products. My wife showed me about 15 years ago Murphy's Oil soap. Using 1 ounce in a 30 ounce spray bottle. She used this to clean her leather tack (saddles, briddles, etc) The price of a good saddle can cripple you sometimes.
I tell you that not only is it a hell of alot cheaper than anybody elses product, but does an immaculate job. There are no concerns here with staining, or removing dye. There is no after scent, and the surface is virgin. Do not oversaturate, as a brief shot from the sprayer, followed by gentle agitation with a soft bristled brush, and removel with a terry cloth towel will leave a smile on your face every time.
Follow with the leather conditioner of choice, and for this I do use lexol conditioner. There are several suitable alternatives however.

Connolly Hide Cream is amazing! Bentley dealers put it on their trade-ins, and I believe Ferrari uses Connolly leather, at least on some models. I've heard of waxy build-up, but if you use it properly (sparingly) as I have, the leather smell is unaffected with no weird residues. My leather is like brand new, literally. I've tried Lexol, I've tried Maguire's, but as far as a good maintenance product for leather already in good condition, connolly is the best IMO.

 

Agreed, very messy. I really like Leatherique for the dash on the 355 though. I treat mine at least three times per year, as the dash leather is known to dry out, shrink and crack. At 10+ years, my dash looks great. I apply generously with a small sponge or towel, and leave it on for several hours. I then reapply. After a total of 24 hours or so, I remove whatever is left (most has soaked into the leather) with a clean towel, slightly dampened with hot water.

For the rest of the car I use Griot's Leather Care. Works well, not as messy and leaves a nice leather smell.

 

I like Griot's stuff but haven't used their Leather Care yet. Does it change the color (darken) beige leather?

 

Not that I can tell. I have only used it a few times so far.

 

I like the griot leather care. Makes the car smell new and does a decent job of cleaning the tan leather. I put it on thick and let it sit for 10 minutes or so, then buff it with a terry cloth towel. Dan from Ricambi got me clued in to it at last year's Cavallino track day.

I used Griot's Leather Care about 3 times a year. Leather looks awesome and soft.

 

The only product to use on Connolly leather is Connoally Leather Care !
