Hello, my car's leather interior has started to creak when it is driven and I wonder if anyone can recammend a treatment to stop this please. Hopefully there is an oil or cream that will work. I use a cleaner and conditioner but it obviously isn't enough.
thanks Bungie

A simple trick I've always used for creaking leather shoes is talcum powder.

WD40 works very well at this even on leather, it wont mark darker colours either

Thanks for the advice I will give it a try. A lot of the leather is bright yellow but I will try on an inconspicuous bit and see. Will report when I have done it.

Doesn't it smell terribly?

Not if you go gently with it, the aroma soon vaporises anyway

leather cleaner tends to make thing squeakier in my expereince, leather softener might work better, but good old wd40 works a treat.
