What would you use to clean it ? , TIA

toxicnerve · 02-22-2011, 12:24 PM

1. Gliptone cleaner

2. Gliptone conditioner

In my car which has black nappa leather, I used the BMW leather cleaner, and was very happy with the results.
It really brings out the colour of the leather really well, and also lifts off any small bits of dirt really easily. It also adds a nice shine to it too, but not too much to make it look all glossy and greasy.

Leather should not be shiney it should look matt.

Gliptone shampoo is ALL you need. Don't condition it. It is a car seat not a three piece suite...

scooba0010 · 02-23-2011, 12:05 AM

Shampoo it is then

toxicnerve · 02-23-2011, 03:22 AM

I find the conditioner restores the vibrance of the colour and gives you that new smell again.

All the more reason to condition it IMO, as car seats are open to much more climate/temperature changes.

Not too much conditioner or you'll smell of leather aswell (been there)!

I use 100% almond oil as conditioner... after a couple of hours the leather absorbes it and the result is simply awesome.

Yep, leather goes shiny when its dirty and greasy.

Nice and matte when its clean...
