Want to keep the leather in the Jag in good order and want to keep that lovely smell of leather when you open the door and keep the leather in a good state of breathing.

I'm assuming Connolly hide food would be good, and have found Gold Label which has beeswax and Lanolin in it, but not sure what to go for. Had Autoglym leaather stuff in the past and wasn't very keen on it to be honest.

What do people recommend? smile

Good enough for the Queen... have used on my last couple of cars, always gave good results. The leather cream makes the interior smell fantastic.

Cheers, will give it a go.

I enjoy opening the Jag door and getting that first whiff almost as much as turning the key. biggrin

You can't "feed" coated modern leather, it can't absorb anything unless the coating is damaged. You're just adding a sticky layer of grease to the top of it with most old-fashioned leather treatments.

gliptone liquid leather is very good, or you can cheat and just buy the air freshener.
