Default Leather

hi guys, i know a lot of us have leather in our cars and we all know it wrinkels and cracks. so how do we stop it? is there a product that can soften the leather and get the wrinkles out?

what do you guys use?

Leatherique is one of the best. They have a full range of fantastic products
Getting in and out of the car more carefully after the treatment will prevent those lines you get on the edge of the seat

I also use the Meguairs Gold class leather foam. Good stuff and easy to use.

Here is a tip: Also some good tint on your windows will also help the leather from drying out.

I use Wolfgang Leather Care Conditioner.

My brother rang me last night to let me know that his quite expensive new leather lounge suite had arrived. It was custom built to his specs and when he asked the manufacturer what to treat the leather with he was told not to use anything but baby oil.

Over xmas I'll try it on an unobtrusive part of my interior and see how it looks/feels.

Ron; Baby oil? that's an interesting one, but if it's good enough for a babies bottom it's good enough for car seats. Another one I've had suggested was shaving foam, I can't see that damaging the seats, but I can't see it helping much either.

i use the meguiers foam leather conditioner.

seems to work well, has the leather nice and soft feeling, although it only seems to stay like that for a week or so.

havn't used anything else, so not much to compare it to.
