Interior Leather Care

Any Recommendations on Interior Leather Care Products?

-Leatherique?
-Griots?
-Swissvax?
-Porsche Brand?
-Chemical Guys?
-Sonax?
-Any Others?

Whatever is the best is worth the price of the investment. Have the full leather interior and want to keep it looking new with the natural leather smell, so prefer products without any odd/artificial leather fragrance with a natural matte, non-oily residue finish!

Thanks In Advance!

I use Leather Master soft cleaner and conditioner. It's not harsh on the leather and keeps it looking new.

I have used both Lexol and Griots. Liked them both. Could not tell a difference.

I use Griots and Lexol for conditioning (I wouldn't try WD-40! - dumbest thing I have ever seen posted on the "other forum" in the 997 section).

Pretty much everything I use is from Adams. They make good stuff and are local to me.

I like their leather conditioner quite a bit. It has a high UV protection (I have a cab) and goes on easily with no excess smell or greasy appearance.

I have natural expresso and after cleaning it with "muc-off" (UK brand) cleaner and then conditioning it with "muc-off" conditioner, the leather appear to have developed a very coarse grain which was not present before. The leather now appears really coarse and grainy compared to the original "smooth" leather.

I know it's the conditioner that's done this as some areas where I've just cleaned without conditioning is fine. Those that I have conditioned is coarse/wrinkly.

Any idea what this is due to? It's a reasonably priced cleaner/conditioneer so it's not like I'm buying really cheap products.

all good stuff. I think the Porsche stuff is made by somebody else.
If you have perforated leather I really like the Sonax.
Leatherique is great on older/distressed leather. If your is new or in great cond. Its not necessary.

Lastly, you have full leather including the dash, so UV protection is a good idea.

Thanks for the responses all.

Think i'm leaning towards the swissvax or sonax.

I do have the perforated seats.

Thanks again.

Tinted windows are the best thing you can do for your leather.
I think our smooth leather is surface dyed so you should only use very mild cleaners and I think conditioners can break down the dye, so they should be avoided.
