Hi

Can anyone recommend a good leather conditioner? I want something that doesn't give any polishing/shiny effect to the leather too!

Cheers

Russ

I just used some Mothers Leather Conditioner this morning on the steering wheel. It has Neats Foot? oil and other essential goodies that are supposed to protect well. Seems good so far, no shiny finish and apart from a "leather" smell you would barely know a product had been applied.

Hi,

I use Auto Glym leather care stuff but that does make the leather shiny until it has been absorbed. I know that Meguiars cleaning range is pretty spot on, all of their other products I've tried have been pretty good so they may be worth a try.

Happy cleaning!

The BMW stuff is excellent, it really softens the leather without making it shiny. The Mini branded cleaner may be same as the BMW banded so you could try both.

Take a look at www.leatherique.com . It was originally developed for Rolls reconditioning, is natural, can be applied with your hands, and leaves a good conditioned fragrance, absolutely not shiny, easy to use, actually treats the leather deeply by leaving the product on the seats in the sun, and then cleans up easily. There is a reconditioner and also a cleaner. Great stuff, have used it on 3 previous cars. Their web site shows some results returning really neglected leather, as well.

Liquid leather ( www.liquidleather.com ) is generally reckoned to be the best.

I've been using the leather care cream by Auto Glym just like Mily. It makes the leather shiny a lil bit but after a while it will go off. Like Mily mentioned, after it absorbs into the leather.. It's a good product tho.

I just used Armoall leather wipes, very easy to use. They don't make the leather shiny.
