Leather Reconditioning Products I need to clean and recondition some 4 year-old leather seats which have received only periodic cleaning in the past. They are still in real good shape (no cracks in the leather, etc.). What brand of products do y'all recommend that would really bring these seats back to life?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I saw an episode of Dream Car Garage several years ago and they had a segment on proper leather care as used on many of the vintage older cars. I sent Tom Hnatiw an email asking about the episode and what was used. He replied back a few weeks later and suggested that I use only high quality saddle soap to clean with, then treat with pure neats foot oil by lightly rubbing into the leather well. He said not to use anything with silicon. It has been a little extra work, but the leather in my 2001 WS6 still looks showroom new with no cracks or wear marks.

if its pretty damaged leather you can use leatherique.. But if you want just a clean and leather condition use a 50/50 mix of woolite & water for a deep clean then use the conditioner of choice.
