I placed this thread here since I wanted to target the ED30 owners.....
What do you use to clean/condition your part leather seats?
I want to keep my leather clean, supply, soft, and looking as new as possible!
However, do I need to be careful not to get the leather cleaner on any of the cloth etc??
Suggestions please......

I second that - it's great stuff !

I'll take a look at that - my leather is pretty clean at the moment, since the car has only covered 5500 miles and the other seats havent been sat in very much at all - hence would I be able to just go for the conditioner to protect them, or do I still need the cleaner??
Also, the site says to apply cleaner with a nail brush?! This would take agessssss!!
How do you apply yours?

As an Edition 30 owner, I have tried a few leather cleaners & conditioners and I have to say the best I have turned up so far is Gliptone - absolutely fantastic easy to use product. You will immediately smell, feel and see the difference :-

Being only 11 months old, the seats have only been "cleaned" once, but I condition every work as I can't see the Vienna Leather keeping very well so try my best to keep it as supple as possible.
It as so good that two mates in work, one with a 420bhp TVR Cerberra and the other with a Cosworth Granada Scorpio decided to try it as well and they are absolutely over the moon with the results - give it a go it's a little of £10 - I highly recommend it !!

GLIPTONE, is applied with a microfibre generally. To clean use a microfibre and a stiff shaving brush to get into the cracks and then wipe off excess, and then to condition again a microfibre and let to "sink in".
