Default Whats the best leather conditioner

Hey guys, Car will arrive in a few weeks and here are some progress pics of how its looking. Things I have done so far

Put on OEM Hollow Turbo Twist wheels
H and R Coilovers
Replaced headlights and front lights with OEM ones to make it look cleaner
Installed Porsche Classic Radio
New PS2 tires
New Stainless Brake Lines
New Brakes and Had Calipers Repainted
Here are a few pics I can't wait to get it.

I will have ceramic coating done and also front clear bra. Anyone have products to use after ceramic coating is done? I was told no to wax.

Looks great. I had a Feynlab ceramic coating applied to my car and I use "Feynlab Detailer" every quarter on my car. Gyeon also makes ceramic upkeep products. I think others will have different opinions based on what ceramic coating you used. Regarding the leather. I loved the outcome of using Leatherique on my leather.

Your leather looks to be in excellent condition, so I'd suggest Obenauf's as it is a superb conditioner. There will be several opinions here but I have tried most products available and have stuck with Obenaufs -

Zaino Z10 is another good selection.

Yes.

If you like the smell of leather and want your leather soft, try Obenauf's. I also use it to soften my croc watch straps when they are new.

Your car looks fantastic. The new lights make a big difference. Interior looks mint!

My car is Polar silver as well and it really is a beautiful color.

Nice car and color combo. I have been very pleased with Griots Leather Rejuvenator product. It requires the seats to be very clean, leather warm (is best) and product left on for about an hour. Area's that are without gloss after an hour will require the product be reapplied as the leather is in need of additional moisture. My interior looks great and is supple. I think you will be pleased as well. Best wishes and enjoy!

"Best" as Men-In-Black "Best of the best"? Well, there are many good choices, I use the old school stuff Lexol. i put it in a spray bottle, saturate the seats and rub it in all-over wet, let it sit overnight, and buff off whatever is left on the surface in the morning. If I'm feeling lazy I let my Wranglers do the buffing for me.

HNY!! What a great way to start 2021. Beautiful 993 and color combo.

With regard to these questions, a few assumptions first; is your car being professional done by a skilled detailer and will it be paint corrected before application of the ceramic coating?

Ask your detailer for the best maintenance product for the ceramic coating. This ensures best performance, longevity, and compatibility. Remember, the areas that will receive the PPF, the ceramic coating will be applied last, over the film.

In general, the best way to care for a high quality ceramic coating is excellent washing technique and products/tools. So, do some research here, too. The less you touch it, the better. Your very next purchase should be a MasterBlaster from Detailers Domain. If your really feel like splurging, and want to make your 3rd most important purchase (after the car and the MB) buy a power washer from Matt (a Rennlister @Money2536 ) at Obsessed Garage.

I use Leather Masters Cleaner and Swissvax Conditioner. I've converted all of my friends to Swissvax Conditioner from what they've been using. It's expensive but worth it. Their cleaner, even the standard version, is a bit too strong which is why I use Leather Masters.

Is that Chestnut Brown or Boxster Red interior? Love the combo, especially the leather dash
