What leather products to use on my GT3 Buckets?

Any suggestions? Zymol / AutoGlym / Meguirs?

Want to give the car some love before the weather gets nicer.

leather cleaning/conditioning is one of those mystical impossible to prove subjects and you could fill a whole library with all the arguments and debates that exist .....

I use gliptone because it smells nice, is extremely well established and widely used and certainly doesn't do any harm.

Another vote for Gliptone.

never heard of it it!

But will do some investigation.....

I use both gliptone and renapur.

I prefer gliptone for cleaning, but renapur for conditioning.

I've been using the same pot of renapur's leather balsam for years.

BTW: the general idea is to get a bottle of the cleaner (clear viscous brown stuff) and then the darker bottle of the conditioner (white stuff) .... job done

Gliptone..... You need 2 products... The cleaner which you use first and then the conditioner which feeds the leather...

Great stuff, and consistently comes out top in side by side product testing...

Been using gliptone for 15 years on bike leathers and 5 years on the 993 seats, superb stuff, just follow the instructions then enjoy the smell everytime you get in the car!

Another vote for Glyptone, use both products as they just work well together and so easy to use.

I use LTT products. http://www.lttsolutions.co.uk/auto/auto-kits/auto-...

From what I understand all leather seats in cars had to have the leather 'sealed' many years ago. I bought a very expensive Swissvax leather cream which is very good indeed.

I've been using Renapur and am pleased with it.

Is it a 997.2 GT3 buckets?

I think I read that these could be leatherette rather than leather so would check it out first before using leather conditioner.

Perhaps someone can confirm

[Magic919]

Garage says 996 Mk2.

[Jibberingloon]

Yep its a 996 Mk2 with Recaro Leather Buckets

Cheers for info

Another for LTT

Although modern leather is sealed it still requires to be kept clean and prevented from drying and therefore cracking, personally I would clean regularly with one of the aforementioned cleaners and use a conditioner only infrequently as the conditioners can be greasy which attracts dirt, etc.
