Leather Treatment

[phil_monk31]

Hi Everyone
This is the first car I have had for a while with leather seats, I was wondering what is the best stuff to use on the leather seats in the LCR? I am a fairly keen detailer and asking people in the community i have had a large number of recommended products but have been told that some are better on different types of leather than others! so what do people use on there seats

Any recommendations?

Anything from LTT or Doctor Leather. Just don't condition the seats with anything. Unless you get very heavy staining you should only need a damp cloth to wipe over. I use the Doctor Leather wipes which are very good and leave a non stick feel and a leather scent.

I use meguires leather care on mine and think its really good.

Kool ill give it ago, the driver bolster is starting to crease so want to keep the leather soft so it dosnt crack.

Zaino leather in a bottle would be my choice (if i had leather...lol) its an all in one product

I bought the meguires because my passenger seat started to crease so I've treat it twice now and the crease has almost gone.

I have done the same except i use autoglym leather balm. Seems to work well.
Just wipe over with leather wipes or AG leather cleaner on a microfibre every few weeks then balm once every couple of months to keep leather supple. Seems to stop creases.

I'd be careful about using too much cleaner if the seats are v dirty as the dirt will run into the white stitching on the R seats and then you'll strugge to get that out. I'd go with Dr Leather wipes as mentioned above.

Yea I am a little worred about the creasing on the drivers bolster, but i am sure if i treat it enougth the creasing will go. I have brought the Autoglum stuff and ill get some of those wipes.

As for the sticking a mate recommended just using some light foarm cleaner that wont damage the leather. might give that a go when it starts to get dirty.

Used Meguiars on my R32 seats and it did a good job so I got some again recently now my other half has leather seats in her Qashquai.

I’m raising this with my dealer soon, as my passenger seat seems to be creasing easily on the bolster and it’s hardly used, no issues what so every on the driver side though.

 

[phil_monk31]

Strange, mine is similar on the passenger side but i think its just the other half not taking any care going in and out. I didnt like the AutoGlum stuff it dosnt smell very nice so I have started using Maquiers, I had some Gold Class leather treatment stuff left.

I assume this is the stuff everyone else is using.

 

[Marshall]

My drivers seat is unmarked and the passenger seat which has had nowhere as much use had a couple of big creases and after applying a thick couple of layers of meguires they are almost gone.
If I do it a few more times that will be it. The good thing about meguires is it doesn't make the leather look cheap and they feel nice and supple and good.
