Best Leather Seat Products?

[bryanviper]

Hello,

I have a 2007 VW GTI with leather seats and have been using Gtechniq Leather Guard & RaceGlaze Leather Cleaner on themthem for the past 6 months or so since I got the car. Great products dont have any complaints other then it does not really leave the nice leather smell behind.

Now I want to try something else on my seats to protect them and keep them from cracking since I regularly clean my interior and wanted to get some suggestions from the pros around here?

Thanks

If your looking for something that smells good along with looking great and sold by AG, I'd go with the pinnacle leather conditioner.

If you regularly clean your seats, you won't need a leather protector. You already have a leather coating protecting your seats..just keep it clean.

Well when I clean my interior I will use the Gtechniq Leather Guard & every once in a while I'll use the RaceGlaze Leather Cleaner.

Thanks

You should only use GTECHNIQ L1 Leather Guard every 6 months (less prone to wear areas) or every 3 months (high wear areas), not every time you clean your interior.

In between, a mild cleaner will be enough.

Optimum is the best out there, IMHO

LeatherMasters is another good choice but those you are using have nice reputations.

I second. I have both cleaner and conditioner. Use it on all cars. My personal cars get it every other wash. Great stuff.

Ultima Interior Shampoo for general maintenance. For heavy cleaning, I like Adams Leather Cleaner. Use Pinnacle Leather Conditioner as a followup. It's a terrific product.

First of all, although I'm a car enthusiast, I'm no "Pro" at detailing.

Having said that, I have a 1989 MB 560SL. The leather in my car is in excellent condition with no visible dirt or cracks, but because it was somewhat hard and stiff to the touch, I wanted to do something to not only get out any oils, grime, etc. that I couldn't see, but, more importantly to me, help soften the leather to help prevent any future cracking.

I researched all kinds of products including Lexol, Griots, and some of the others mentioned. There are all kinds of products available, and every product has it's fans. Ultimately, I ended up going with the Leatherique kit. A little involved and time consuming, but I feel it worth the investment in time and cost. I don't have any feelings on the smell of the product one way or the other. With the top down, I really don't notice, but the leather does seem cleaner, and it's definitely softer. I plan another "treatment" in the Spring.

My car has only 26,000 miles and is only driven occsionally on sunny days. I don't know the condition of the leather in your 2007, but I can certainly say that I'm very pleased with the job Leatherique did for me.
