Porsche brand Leather cleaner?
Just browsing through the Cayenne owner's manual last night, I noticed that it recommended Porsche brand leather cleaner and leather care for the interior? Anybody buy/try it yet? Over priced?
Bought some Meguiar's Gold class cleaner/reconditioner today to try out....what do you guys/girls use?

I have found that different leather cleaners and protectants/conditioners work best on specific types of leather. On my GTS (feels like cheap sprayed) I use Zymol Leather Cleaner or Griot's Interior Cleaner followed by Zymol Leather Conditioner. For my wife's Range, which has ultra soft/delicate, Ivory colored Oxford Leather, I use Leather Masters Cleaner and Protectant (2 Step). On my old LR3, which had thick and tough leather (Rhino hide?), I used Connelly Hide Food or Griot's Leather Conditioner.

I found that out the trial and error way.
I was so concerned about the leather dash in my 08 that I brought it up with the local dealers so at least I had a paper trail while under warranty.
anyway, maybe due to the dry climate or harsh sun, the dash became dried out and ready to crack within 6 months. I kept thinking any day it would peel along the front edge or around the airbag.
I went through quite a few test products including the porsche stuff(dealer provided, very nice of them) until I finally used leatherique.
seemed extreme to use a restoration product but it made the dash look brand new and not so stretched and strained.
