Up until now my fellow cheeky chappies, I have been using this:

(Turtle Wax leather wipes) to keep my seats, door panels and gaiter in A1 condition.  While the wipes were convenient in thay they did an OK job of cleaning and were disposable, one downside was that they did leave my seats feeling a bit stiff.

However, yesterday I bought some of this stuff:

(Carplan Leather Cleaner) and crap Auto Express Review aside, I have to say my seats feel like new!  Its a bit messy to apply, but if you spray it onto a cotton cloth first and then work it into the leather, it works wonders!  Seats are now softer, clean and have that 'new leather' smell back...   s:D :D s:D  

At £5.99 a can its also pretty good value for money as you don't have to use much.

I use the Autoglym cleaner & conditioner, which are great... but as I have been converted to Meguiars cleaning products, I may have to try their leather stuff as the ewview you linked to rated it highly.

I only came across that Auto Express review when I was looking for pictures to link to   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:    Had I known beforehand I might have gone for a better-rated product, such as the Meguiars.  However, I'm still happy with the Carplan stuff - the leather is definitely more supple and it feels more comfortable to sit in while driving   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I use Turtle wax - Leather cleaner and conditioner. (green and yellow bottle).

I got it for the Volvo - and seeing as I only did the seats 3 or 4 times I had loads left. I may look into other products when it runs out.

Seems to work fine altough I will say that it worked much better in the Volvo!

At least there is only 2 seats to do now.

I use Meguiars Gold Class Leather Cleaner Conditioner as it was recommended by Auto Express and I must say it is pretty good and 6.99 from  w www.speeding.co.uk w  Havent used anything else but it does the trick and does leave the seats nice and soft for a while.
