Leather Cleaner

[SK360]

Can someone recommend A good leather cleaner, it's to do the whole of my interior on A convertible, and if it matters, its for light cream/ leather interior

Gliptone products are the best I have tried. You do need to feed the leather after cleaning.

Worth buying both?

Take it to a nice restaurant, A little bit of fine wine and some nice food should make it stay supple.





Or you could just use this: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/interior/ ... d_210.html

Used both on old Jaguar leather ,it is good. when you use the creamy feed stuff use plenty and leave over night so it soaks it up.

Nice find, That's a good price.

Definitely buy both, and also pop and get yourself a soft nail brush.

When I clean and treat leather, I use the following method:

1, Use a soft damp cloth to wipe any dust of surface grime off of the leather (warm water helps to open the pores of the leather)

2, Apply a small amount of the cleaner to one section of the seat, agitate with a soft nail brush. Leave for a couple of minutes.

3, Rinse the cleaner off with a fresh damp cloth, this may take a couple of wipes as it's quite sticky stuff.

4, Repeat on the rest of the seat.

5, Allow to dry, then apply the conditioner with a soft cloth.

6, leave for about ten minutes so the leather absorbs the conditioner, then buff any excess off.

If you have time, Do two coats of conditioner to really feed it.

Start with the drivers seat, that way if you un out of time on the rest of the interior you can still move the car around.

Sweet, cheers for that Dave, gonna order some now. One last question, Where to get the nail brush?

[d6dph]

Boots, Tescos.... Anywhere like that really.

[SK360]

Sweet, and one last question, how much should I buy, 2 bottles of each?

[d6dph]

Christ no, a little goes a long long way!
