Best leather care for seats

Detaling and car washing techniques

I stay clear of leather wipes as the ones i have used leave a very oily substance that just sits on the leather to collect dirt and dust and then ultimately crack the leather.

Duragloss 221/441 is similar almost the same as Zaino Z9/Z10

Thanks Kieran. I think you had posted the link to his sale thread previously.

I might "borrow" my mates duragloss and see how that goes.

I'm still trying to perfect my technique of getting into and out of the car, without leaning too much on the lateral supports of the seats... if only my other passengers would adopt and apply this technique as well :lol:

I tried Meguiars leather cleaner/conditioner. Average. Smells like perfume when you're putting it on too, so you have to drive round with the windows down after. I also tried the stuff I use on the couch, which I got from Bay Leather Republic. It worked better than the Meguiars, but I don't think it has a UV protectant in it unfortunately.
I got this plan. It's called 'Save Ass'. And the way it works is this - I slip outta one of these windows and I run like a bastard!

I normally stay clear of Armor All products, but this stuff is good. Not too thick so it doesn't clog the holes but also not so watery such that it comes off the first time you sit in the seats. Good absorption.

Another Zaino devotee here :) easy to apply, doesn't take long, works well and leaves a nice leathery smell.

Been using Meguairs Gold Class Leather Cleaner and Conditioner and pretty happy with it. Better than the armor-all and other shit i have used so far. None of which have given me a genuine, non-greasy leathery feel. This product is doing the job til i run out :) UV Protectant too!

I think the after images have a red tint to them because of the sun, the red tshirt I'm wearing reflecting off the cream seats & the shitty camera on my phone.
