What's the best leather cleaner/polish for trim?

[elgrego]

Just like to know what everyone thinks is the best stuff to use on my trim. I've got a complete black leather re-trim (seats, doors etc). I bought some autoglym polish but i'm not that impressed with the results. Any advice welcome, cheers.

Zymol - best there is IMO.

Conditioner http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=ROAD&pcode=ZYMZ509

Zymol products are natural, so don't contain any synthetic chemicals.

I use 'Gliptone - Liquid Leather' on my leather bits. Keeps it 'fed', so nice n supple even re-introduces a new leather smell. They also do a cleaner.
Was only about £8 ish

I like Einzett Leather Care to clean and protect http://www.cleanandshiny.co.uk/ProductDetails.asp?ProductID=9953

and then Zaino Z10 for extra conditioning http://www.advancedcarproducts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=12_Z10

Both leave the leather looking natural and factory looking in smell, apperance and feel.

I'm currently using this which i think is as good as the zaino .

Does it matter that i'm applying and buffing the stuff with an old t-shirt? I'm not too clued up on what i should use.

 

[Rich]

As long as it is soft it will be fine.

I apply and remove with a microfiber cloth.

hey rich, i've done what you said. the back seats look great but the front ones only look good the same day i do it then they look a bit patchy. what am i doing wrong?

 

[Rich]

How did you apply, you need to rub it in well, and buff the remains off with a clean cloth. I used to have the patchy problems with Autoglym Leather Cream when I did not used to buff it after. Not had the above with either the Einszett or Zaino.

 

[elgrego]

maybe i'm not rubbing it in or buffing enough. when buffing, how much pressure would i need to apply?

 

[Rich]

Not really a pressure issue, just need to ensure you remove all traces of the product from the surface. Shoulkd feel like there is nothing on there after.

Rich, do you think this Einzett stuff would be suitable on a leather 3 pc suite as well??
