conditioners do fack all but help cause wear

Yeah i know what your thinking - i used to think same

Read ALL of this, many tests were carried out... this is what happened with me

I now NEVER use conditioner (both MJ who trimmed my interior and also the manufacturer of my leather (bridge of weir) said this is the correct way.

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.
