dont bother using any conditioners they dont work and help ruin your leather

use the gliptone cleaner or Dr leather wipes

no mate the gliptone stayed on the top coat of my trim, it never reaches the leather under the painted top coat, read it all again properly, all conditioners do is sit on your top coat, get grime stuck to them and this then helps lead to cracking, took me months to feel like i do so i understand how you still think conditioners are needed

we spoke to the poeple that make the leather, the guy that trimmed my leather and the guy that made the wipes, who did tests, everyone had the same reply - waste of time and do nothing.. believe me it took some time for me to think conditioners are not needed

the reason the Dr leather wipes reacted is becase the gliptone conditioner was sat on my top coat and never even got to the leather below it.

these companys are loving it, making easy money

im just trying to help you and others out anyhow
