Leather Maintenance

Got some "Liquid Leather" cleaner and conditioner the other week for the M5 to clean the very shiney worn seats and they came up like new! Tried putting the conditioner on the Ro seats (to new to need cleaning really) and they are alot softer to the touch and look a bit better to! Thoughly recomended stuff.
If you want some do a search on Liquid Leather - mile better than an Halfrauds sold stuff ie: AG etc.

I used autoglym a couple of times on my seats and they came up a treat but last time I ended up with "discoloured" patches - its not actually the leather thats marked but its an inconsistency in the "finish" coat left by the treatment. If you reckon this other stuffs any good I'll maybe give it a try see if I can get my seats back to a nice uniform finish. Seats really do need done at least 1-2 times a year to keep the leather from drying out and cracking.
I dont really rate AG TBH in this department and another benefit of the LL stuff is it gives a nice fresh leather smell although I went OTT and bought one of their leather smelling air freshner patches as well.
LL is also used by alot of the detailing guys, hence me wanting to try it in the first place.

I used LTT on mine. http://www.lttsolutions.net/ As seen on Detailing World.
Thanks for that Roger
That was my next job. BTW the results i got with my Sealy polisher are fantastic. I'll post some pics when i get home next Monday. I have no swirls at all. Its taken three days with four different stages (with a wash in between each stage) And OMG i cant believe the bloody mess on the rubber trim 
That part alone took me four hours to rectify but it was very much worth it. I said to Col last night i would have been happy for my paint work to be Roger Hall standard and it is
I'm over the moon. Just the interior to do now

I ran out recently before my big road trip and used Autoglym instead, and the seats came up in this awful white bloom overnight! I was devastated - Mrs C came to the rescue and ordered my some more LL and their cleaner, and calm (and a nice smell!) was once more restored.

on the basis that it fixed your AG problem I'm going to give it a try so have ordered some. Did you use the cleaner and the conditioner to fix it or just the conditioner?

Where do you get the liquid leather from?
Only have those wipe type things for mine no actual proper leather stuff!

As per my first post - search on the product name - Liquid Leather and all shall be enlightened.
As per your first post wasnt sure if Halfords of the likes stocked it either! Will get some ordered off the net if no local shops have it in.
