Sup guys..

can anyone tell me the best stuff to buy to preserve my leather seats..im currently using Auto-Glym stuff which is ok..

Ive heard someone say something about an OIL..said to get it from a place what would sell Horse Leather Gear ..< stand sto reason they would have some l33t Gear for leather me thinks.

Anyone know what its called or got an alternative?

cheers

Jamz, the gear your thining of is called saddle soap,but as the guys say there are purpose made car concoctions which are better suited.

neatsfoot oil is what you'll get from the horse tackle shop ,cheap but does a good job

Used some saddle soap a couple of time before i bought the Gliptone, the gliptone is miles better, makes a noticeable difference.

Yea,that what i was thinking of...not to sure wether it would be as good as the liquid leather range though now that ive read some stuff up on the site about it..seems that with the liquid leather gear supplies multiple ltionms for different things which enchances the leather two-fold

cheers

I got some Gliptone cleaner and conditioner.
The cleaner really did take out any trace of dirt but I was expecting a little more from the conditioner as it didnt make as much difference to the leather as I was hoping for.

I have to agree with you Adam Gliptone cleaner works and leaves a lovely smell but it really didn't bring back the suppleness to the leather i was hoping for Maybe a few more applications?

When I had my interior retrimmed in Connally leather - long time ago now - at Extreme Trim (see links above) I was given a tub of Connally Leather cream. Thick white stuff. It lasted ages but I've never been able to find it since. This thread has just reminded me so I did a Google search and came up with this which as far as I can see is the same stuff. All I can say is that after six years my interior looks good on it.
