Question Care and feeding of your AM interior

Just wondering what the AM owners here do to take care of the leather interior? Conditioner? Product recommendations?

Thanks!

No conditioner. Just keep it clean with a mild cleaner or damp, not wet, cloth. Using conditioner would be like oiling the paint on your car.

Agree with that. Just make the water lukewarm.

I wipe down with damp cloth, but do apply Griot's leather care a 2-3x a year. It's what my local AM dealer uses. Vacuum as much as possible. "Pledge" or any other furniture polish on the wood.

Does it leave a sheen? Nothing I hate worse that shinny leather.

Not at all. Can leave some streaks that come out as you wipe down the interior over time. Trick with leather stuff is to put on it on lightly.

Blue magic works for me. Though having met reps from Bridge of Weir at a AM event, they do vouch for just water and mild soap.
