    Best leather cleaner and conditioner?

    I have just fitted some leather seats to my Focus ( Booo Hissss indeed ) and have cleaned them with some Meguiars leather cleaner/conditioner but have now run out. Its good stuff but was wondering if theres better out there? Whats does everyone else use then?

    i use gliptone cleaner and conditioner,better than the megs stuff which is good but not as good as gliptone,you get both bottles on ebay for about £10 and the smell of the seats is like new leather.
    i hate the world

    Seems Gliptone is the hands down winner lol. Will get hold of some as the megs stuff did clean it but it came from a smokey car and some of the wiff is still on it. Cheers guys

    Re: Best leather cleaner and conditioner?

    LTT leather cleaner is the very best on the market.

    because it is water based it keeps the leather in optimum condition as you should never be putting oils etc onto leather as leather itself produces its own oils. my leather is bright white and still is after 3 years of continually smoking in the car. things like creams etc you will find you are merely pushing the dirt around.

    iv used many different cleaners etc b4 finding this one, and this one even managed to clean the dirt out of the grain!! it had never looked so white.

    Well i'll stick to the Gliptone stuff, it smells awesome and has made the leather all nice and soft again.

    I've been reading all the talk on Dw about LTT, some people say it's good, other say its utter crap.. Having used the Gliptone, i cant say a bad thing about it.

    Re: Best leather cleaner and conditioner?

    i was able to see the results properly due to the colour of my leather, it comes out as a foam which you massage by hand into the leather, and gently aggitate with a small nail brush then just wipe clean.

    once my LTT runs out i will have to give this gliptone a go which wont be long as i clean my leather every other day!

    Re: Best leather cleaner and conditioner?

    ?? cos its white, and the car is used as a daily driver, and smoked in continually.

    this is why i used a water based cleaner, as it does no damage to the leather or the enviroment



    this was leather was fitted 3 yrs ago.

    Surely you are only pulling it one way though? ie. you are pulling it along its length.
