Leather Cleaning

[gary_de_tam]

I have got the TAN leather and is looking a bit grubby,
no ribs or wear really just dirt in the leather grain.

Anyone suggest a good product as I have tried a couple
but not much affect, or maybe do I need to consider a
professional service....if so, any recommendations?

I used Autoglym leather cleaner and a soft bristled brush when I had the tan leather (great colour by the way). Then I used Autoglym leather conditioner afterwards.

Liquid Leather (Gliptone) gets a good write-up. I've used it in the TVR and Alfa and it gives good results
See here ----> http://www.liquidleather.com/liquidl.htm

Should be able to get it at car dealers - I got the last batch (cleaner and conditioner) at a Saab franchise.

I use the Gliptone stuff on black leather and have been happy with it.

Auto Express did a recent test on leather cleaners and it didn't score too highly though:

I don't know how agressive some of the other cleaners were. The Gliptone stuff is definitely very mild. You can get amazing results with some that contain a lot of ammonia but I'm not sure it's good for the leather in the long term.

Go to your local Leather Suite shop and buy the cleaner & conditioner!

As good as it gets!

I've recently bought the gliptone stuff, not got round to using it yet.
