Are you conditioning or cleaning?

I do not recommend combo fluids, keep them separate.

For cleaning, I use simple dish soap diluted in water. Then use a hard sponge, dip the end of the sponge and rub like hell. Then wipe dry with another cloth. I find formal leather cleaner products like Lexol (glycerine-based) simplly do not work.... just not strong enough.

For conditioning, I do not recommend Lexol as it stinks and caused the leather in my car to "relax" and actually have sag lines. Best products here are Mothers or Meguires simple conditioner.

BTW... I was never sure leather conditioner really soaked in because of the coatings they put on these leather seats nowadays...... anyone with information on this issue? I guess the Lexol did as it made my leather sag. Hmmm.....

Yes, that is my lovely LS powered 70. Track and touring toy. Great car.



Doesn't have leather seats though, just cloth covered Recaros, with XM, a/c, six speed, harness, super fun to get sideways in....

Nice! I had a 70 RS 350 "back in the day". Always dreamed about getting another but it wouldn't likely live up to the original memories!

Leatherique.

Some brands work better than others but none have worked as well as Leatherique does for me.

And there must be good money in detailing. Larry has a Festool vac.

If one wants to maintain a low sheen, new leather look:

1 - No on Lexol. No on Leatherique.

2 - Keep the seats clean to begin with. Periodically (2 to 3 times a year) clean with 5% baby shampoo solution or a good cleaner like Porsche's own or Leather Masters Soft Cleaner.

3 - For conditioning... Leather Masters Protection Cream, sparingly applied.
