Leather Care

lovemy1 · 08-17-2008, 11:50 AM

Hello wondering if anyone knows of any good leather care products? I have the coral red and am noticing some areas that are starting to darken a bit.. anyone know of any cleaning products that are safe for the leather and where I could get them in Canada?

If you search in this forum (the one I moved it to) you'll find a number of threads on leather care. Hopefully some of the Canadians will chime in with places to purchase their favorite (or is that favourite ; -) products.

I use the Zaino line of leather products. I also have Coral Red, no issues with color issues.

A nice product would be Leather Master Strong Cleaner followed by Leather Master Vital.

or Einszett Leathercare (its a one step)

How often should you treat your leather? I read someplace that treating it too frequently is not a good idea.

i treat it once every three months, but wipe it off frequently. i think i overtreated a previous car (the leather got oily) so i've been paranoid ever since.

no issues except the normal wearing and wrinkling that comes with age and use

I have tried...

Lexol
Zymol
+5 others.

Zaino Leather in a bottle was the only product that smelled like leather (contains leather oil) and absorbed without making my leather shiny.

example of Leather Master products:

The interior for this M5 was for lack of better words shot, dust everywhere and sun block all over the door panels and front leather seats. We cleaned up all the leather with Leather Master Rapid S and conditioned them with Leather Master Vital. All the plastic trim with cleaned up and protected with Einszett Cockpit.

After shots:

Door panels before Leather Master treatment:
