Interior question

I have black full leather in my 06 S. I researched interior cleaner and condition on the detail section of this forum, but I wanted to hear from fellow 997 owners. What is preferred for your leather. I used Mothers for some time, but they quit making what I used. Any help would be great. It is time for the spring cleaning to begin.

Leatherique products. I've been pleased with them and heard they are high quality.

Porsche leather cleaner - the best there is for Porsche leather.
Sonus Leather Conditioner. Used as recommended maintains, new-like, low-sheen look.

I use Lexol, but Sonus also has great products in general.

Lexol is great if one likes shiny leather. That works well on classic British leather interiors but not on current-day low sheen Porsche leather interiors. But I know taste varies.

Is the Porsche leather cleaner "Sonus" just rebranded? Or, am I mis-reading this post?

I was curious as well, as I too have a full leather black interior in my 997.

Thanks,

Steve

Two different products. One is a cleaner, the other a conditioner.

I do not know who makes the Porsche leather cleaner. I just know that it works and it's cheap enough. Cleaners should only be used if the leather is soiled or has dirt spots, otherwise just wipe them with a damp cloth.

I have never used the Porsche leather conditioner. it may be good too. I have experience with the Sonus leather conditioner and like the fact that, if used as recommended, it does not shine up the leather.
