Default Leather treatment?

2004 996 C4S and overall the leather is in reasonable shape. I have wear on the driver side seat bolster and would like to try to minimize further damage. Any suggestions on a leather treatment product? What do you use on your 911?

I use shoe polish, the stuff in a tin on black seats for wear marks or scratches. Then I co over seat with whatever leather conditioner I have laying around. That being said, wife asked me to pick up some leather cleaner conditioner for the leather cottage couches. I just picked up a zepmproduct in the household cleaner aisle. I thought that product was better than any other product I have used previously.

I’ve used leather masters products for years, great products that clean and condition really well.

Leatherique. Great stuff. Learned about it here in the detailing forum.

I’ve always used Leatherique products to renew, protect and preserve the leather in my cars. Really great products and service.
And because of this website I heard about shoe polish as a touch up product. Who would’ve thought? But my interior is Metropol blue so it took some searching to find dark blue polish. Altogether works great on my 17 year old interior.

Leatherique is a nice product but there is only some much you can do. It will help make it more supple but the cracking and wear that is there is there.

This is the best that I have tested so far (and I have tried a lot, from Meguiars, Autogly, Chemical guys, etc, etc)

Amazon Amazon

You would like to use a soft cleaner before to remove dirty (the one from Autoglym is quite soft)

Amazon Amazon

Use both as directed

For the cracking, I would recomend this

Amazon Amazon

Be carefull when ordering. It is possible to order a general color, or exactly the porsche color (by name)
