Leather cleaner and conditioner -- Routine Maintenance Favorites

[spewking]

What are your "go to" leather product favorites for routine cleaning and maintenance? I am looking for something I can use monthly or as needed to keep things good and clean (not deep cleaning like you would do with a full detail)?

I bought some D181 leather cleaner to try after having good experience with the megs interior cleaner/detalier.

Have previously used leather masters for deep cleaning cleaning and conditioning with good results.

Thanks,

David

I always liked Optimum Protectant Plus for those occasions. Has some light cleaners In it and and leaves the leather with a nice non greasy feel.

Einszett Cockpit is AMAZING!

I'm also testing Mckee's Fast Interior Detailer and it's pretty good too. That said, it seems an awful lot like it's primarily Distilled water and Fragrance where Cockpit is a thicker emulsion that despite still drying completely matte, it does enhance the finish a bit more than the Mckee's product. I am definitely not dismissing the Mckee's product, I just don't have anyway of knowing that it's actually cleaning more than water and it's actually providing UV protection.

Optimum Protectant plus is great but a bit too satin for me so I always have to go back over it with a damp microfiber to try and knock it down some. I wonder if it's dilutable? I might try that. I typically use it on my customers cars rather than my own. It's the best I've found at hiding scuffs and scratches on dark interior plastic panels and it seems to provide the most UV protection of all the interior detailers/protectants I've tried

I too like the Meg's 181 or 180 but since receiving a sample of Griots Leather Care Spray I am addicted to the way it turns around slightly dirty leather (haven't tried it on anything bad cause haven't had any in that were trashed) I have had specific comments from 2 of the 3 cars I've touched up the leather on since using GGs awesome spray. AG doesn't carry it at least anymore but I wish they did!

I've come to love poorboys leather stuff. Mostly because it has a very pleasant leather scent. It does seem to help soften up stiff leather as well. My current go to on every job I do that has leather

Right now I'm really liking McKee's 37 All In One Leather Lotion. I like the fact it cleans and conditions in one step.

I also use griots Leather 3-in-1 on my Golf R's Leather seats. The R's seats have a black firm matte finish to them and griots works well with them. Griots Leaves a nice pleasant leather smell which compliments their car fragrance Fine leather.
