Just got a bottle of Maguiars gold class leather cleaner and conditioner. Is this stuff any good? and will my leather seats still have that great "porsche" leather seat smell. Any other recommendations are appreciated. Thanks.

Leatherique cleaner and rejuvenator oil.

+1 on the leatherique - that stuff works awesome !
i most likely will never use anything else.

When my leather became very dirty, I used a little of this:



on a slightly damp clean shoe brush to agitate the surface a little at a time, using a warm damp towel to immediately wipe off the suds.

The 5.5 ph is great for leather in terms of having the correct ph balance.

Then any conditioner will do. I generally use this, as I find that it makes the leather supple:

Hi,

This is what you're looking for, for a professional finish.

A very good colouring I used came from here with fantastic results:

Both kits come with full instructions. I did mine first with the cleaner & restorer kit and then finished with the dye kit and a final buff with protector from 1st kit and they look like new.

I've had good luck with Lexol cleaner and conditioner. You may want to ask the RL Concours forum. I'm sure they have opinions about what is best.

The leather dye kit above is a good product. Insane value for money. But it's not a cleaner conditioner.

I've been using Lexol and it does a great job. Easy to get, large bottles an cheap. Every 3 months I go at it. Doesn't rub off the dye.

I used Leather Soffener too. Worked extremely well and leaves a real leather smell. Harder for me to come by.

Ditto here. This is very good advice

Finest products made for leather. Bar none. There are other good recommendations in this thread also, but if you want the outright best it's Leatherique.

Color Plus sells cleaner and conditioners that are highly regarded. I've used them and the products work very well. I've not tried Leatherique, and while they also get very good reviews, I found a number of Color Plus reviewers that had used both and preferred the later.

I find that to maintain/ nourish leather seats (not restore or clean) white Nivea cream works a treat. Layer it on thickly and leave it over night - by the morning it'll all be absorbed and leave you with a perfect finish.

My car came from New Mexico, and leather was very hard and almost no pliability. Leatherique a couple times on warm days, much softer and clean.

There's a lot of fluff about absorbing this and that. Sad truth on most leather these days is the surface is sealed, and non breathable, the only part that can absorb moisture is the underside, the naturally finished untreated part.

Straight from the Connelly trained guys who refinished my seats.
