Nothings wrong with it but like every aspect of detailing there's always some super dooper product on the market and I really want to keep these seats in the condition they are now.

gliptone leather care is the best ive used on the newer cars. Even puts the smell back in.

Dont reccomend it on old shiney leather though. Can look tacky.
