Any one know of a decent leather cream for our seats?

Always been happy with Autoglym Leather Care Balm (cream) on the leather in all my cars. Non shiny and works well.

Thanks for you help - have ordered some.

I use the Sonus leather treatment, again non-shiny and leaves a nice natural smell in the car. Like new

How do you get that really nice brand new look matt finish? It never seems the same once it's been cleaned a few times. I did have some bodywork done on my previous Aston and they cleaned the interior at the same time. they left it with that great new look finish. How?

see Liquid leather above...matt finish, with "real" leather smell aka smells like the stuff Aston/Rolls/Bentley use at the factory as "real" leather doesn't smell of much at all

Whilst I know Glyptone Liquid Leather is well regarded I would dispute that it smells anything like upholstery leather. I would struggle to say what it does smell like; acrid, pungent cat piss with a touch of horse manure? Hard to say but certainly not leather as you describe it

Dirt and road grime seem to work OK in a Volante

Never done my seats any harm

I use the gliptone

Last Sunday I took a trip to Bala, where I parked up next to 3 bikers from Crewe..... Had a cuppa and a chat, and as I got up to leave, 1 of the bikers said, lets have a look a this car then

As I was standing on the pavement, I blipped the blipper, and opened the passenger door...as soon as it opened, he looked in, and his first comment was Ohh that lovely smell of leather, haven't smelt that since I worked at Bentley

My car is over 7 years old, and it still smells and looks like new inside...I'll continue using the gliptone

Perhaps leather smells of cat piss and manure or perhaps it's a strange reaction when it gets on my hands

LOL ...I Know what you mean

it smells different in the car when its dried to what it does on your hands if you don't wear rubber gloves...and its real hard to wash off too
