Title: Leather Cleaner/Protector
Post by: VWKev on 18 October 2009, 00:45

Hi all, I have had a quick look through this section and have seen a couple of leather threads but they seem to just cover repairing etc.

What I'm hoping to find out is what the best or one of the best leather cleaner's I can buy for my seats. I'd essentially like it to keep the leather in as good a condition as I can and hopefully the product will protect it too from things like spills etc.

Zymol treat is what I use, have the anthracite leather same as you & I find the Zymol is not too overpowering in smell or sheen etc.......

Its about £25/bottle. I sweep them down before treating using a horse hair brush for about £6.

May sound a bit harsh but to avoid stains & stuff I refuse to let anyone eat or drink in mine :nerd:

I do the same but there's the odd occasion where I have to eat and drink in the car eg choccy bar, red bull etc. Except I always manage to get choc stains on the seat no matter how careful I am.

Thanks, will check out the Gliptone stuff shortly.

If I decide on the Zymol, would this be ok ?

Yep if you go down the Zymol route, they are the ones to go for.

I have a few products from these people and they are very effective and IMO good value for money.
