Bought 6 weeks ago Gliptone Liquid Leather conditioner and cleaner.

Cleaner great got alot of the dirt out of the seats, but the conditioner does not seem to get the seats great, been appling it for 5 weekends to try and get my 19 yr old 320 into better condition but it just seems dull.

What is the best?

the original oil for serious saddlers is neat's-foot oil..get it from a saddler or butcher its dirt cheap but very greasy...its old fashioned but it works..

or try connoly hide food

if your leather is very dry it needs lots of it and it needs to be left on to soak in...anything put on and wipe off will not feed your leather
