What leather conditioner...?

DeanFYoung · 9th July 2008, 09:03

Hi guys,

I have recently cleaned my leather seats with the auotglym offering...

But, I was wondering what other products people have and rate or don't rate etc...

I always used the Auto Glym Leather cream on my Mini, never had any issues with it....even use that in the BM not only because its good but because its beige leather and some leather cleaners and creams can be a different colour.

I've used Autglym in the past too, never had any problems with it and it seems to work well.

You won't need a conditioner on Honda leather.
Like a lot of mainstream leather, it is protected with a clearcoat, like the paint, and this will stop any conditioner being absorbed into the leather.
Best thing to do is regularly vacuum it to remove all debris which hastens wear and tear, and clean it with a good leather cleaner weekly.
This'll maintain it and keep it looking as good as possible.

4 civics all with Leather interiors and have never used any sort of leather cleaner or treatment.

The leather has never required it. I only hoover the seats that use a clean cloth that has been in warm/hot watter and well ringed out
find this works a treat.
