    which leather cleaner and conditioner?

    Hi guys, I have an RS4 with the silver interior and I want to know what products to use to clean and maintain it.
    The seats are actually pretty clean since it's a low mileage car. Not much grime but I would like to prevent it from wrinkling and cracking in the future.
    What products would you suggest for the leather seats?
    thanks in advance.

    Swissvax is amazing, but be ready to spend some big money on it. You can always go with Colourlock which is who makes the products from Swissvax. Other than those, I would support Phil at Detailers domain and buy leather masters. Really good for the money. Also if you are looking for more of a leather sealant, carpro makes one which is a leather coating and helps to prevent jean dye transfer. I have used all of these and they are good.

    I would recommend Malco Leather & Plastic Cleaner followed by Malco Leather Conditioner
    The cleaner I like because it leaves a nice satin film that it's very subtle, great for the dashboard and door panels.
    It does leave some protection for your dashboard and side panels
    The leather conditioner it's also great, non-greasy and smells awesome.

    Vacuum you seats first, remove all those small little grain of dirt alongside the corners and places where they tend to be seen.
    If you have a horse hair scrub brush, use that to work the cleaner into the seats.
    Get a little tub with meium hot water where you can dip a MF tower, wring the excess water (damp) and remove the grime from the seats. Repeat as often as it's necessary. The warm water helps soften the leather to keep it supple.
    Hint: when you use the MF don't wring the dirt back into your clean warm water tub or pail.
    Run the towel under warm water and see how much brown water comes out of it.
    Move onto the rest of the seats repeating the above steps, by then the first seat should be dry and ready for conditioner.

    Connolly is one of my favs been using that stuff since I was a liitle boy helping my pops detail his 58 rolls . Just picked up the swissvax leather kit and I love how that stuff smells and just works . Have allways wanted to try the Letherique kit which has the step 1 which is the oil and step 2 the clean.

    I just used leather honey (cleaner and conditioner) on my seats and on my motorcycle leathers. It worked well on the seats, but didnt seem to have much of an effect on my jacket (it does see a lot of sun)

    For daily or weekly maintenance I like Lexol. It is cheap and can be found in many local stores, including home depot and lowes. I also like Leatherique, it is expensive but I have had good luck with it. There are a lot of good products out there.
