Leather Cleaner/Conditioner for ED30.....
« on: 13 May 2009, 18:06 »
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......

Yep - liquid leather and conditioner. Pricey, but worth every penny.

Hi Matey,

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 :-

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gliptone-Leather-Cleaner-Conditioner-2-x-DG-Cloths_W0QQitemZ120413392429QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item120413392429&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A15%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

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 !!
