Which product for leather seats ?

[DCBStingerGT]

I have owned my Stinger just over 21 months, and have never used any kind of leather care product to either protect or clean the seats, I have looked into a few products from Aussie brand Bowden's Own, Meguiars, Autoglym, and some others.
So those of you Stinger owners whom are currently using a leather care product, which one do you use and would you recommend it ?
Also, I want a product that dries a matt look, not a wet look, or even some owners seem to just use a damp cloth, is that enough, or do you need a product to protect the leather from the sun as well.

I would apppreciate any first hand knowledge, or any opinions.

I'm sure you'll get a dozen different recommendations but my go to is Meguiars 3 in 1 cleaner, conditioner and protectant but it does leave a little sheen. Next would probably be Chemical Guys. I wasn't fan of Mothers.

Bowdens Own is good stuff

 

[Dreadnaut12]

I personally use chemical guys. Cleaner, conditioner, protectant. Matte finish and smells good too.

Bowdens Own is good but is meant for PU Leather, it says on the bottle not to use it on natural leather such as the Nappa in our cars. PU leather is a thin skin of leather bonded onto polyurethane. Meguiars Gold class leather is made for natural leather

So what brand would be the best to use on Nappa Leather?

I use Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather cream, claims to clean, condition and protect smells great and doesn’t make the leather shiny

GOLD CLASS RICH LEATHER CLEANER/CONDITIONER 414ML

There is no best.

just use something. They all do the same damn thing.

Humidity/UV exposure/temps/backseat romps with the prom queen/etc will all stress the leather.

I have the GT2 with the ventilated seats. Will these products get stuck in the holes and be difficult to get out?

I really like the look of this one. So far, 22 months in, I haven't touched my upholstery. Of course, it has received very light use, the back seats practically none. But I'm thinking (at least) once a year, from now on, is probably wise, to treat all the leather and leather-like surfaces.

1) don’t slather it on.
2) anything that gets in / blocks the perforated holes... use a needle to push through.

I would suggest vacuum the plugged holes ............

That was obvious to me. Sorry. 2a. Use a GD vacuum.

And then use a needle to push it through; a vac won't get everything out of every hole.

I wouldn't go near a leather seat with a needle. Its leather conditioner so it will absorb into the leather after a little while anyway. I've owned plenty of perforated leather seat cars and never had an issue with this. Apply the product in small amounts to an applicator and wipe on you can wipe it off with a microfiber cloth if you're worried about clogging pores. Always vacuum the seats thoroughly before doing this.

I like Zaino leather in a bottle Z-10 Leather in a Bottle

It dries to a matte finish and makes your car smell like fresh leather.

Thanx for your suggestions and knowledge, I'm thinking the Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather is what I may purchase, even though other products may also suit.

Has anyone used 303 Leather 3 in 1 Complete Care, it was recommended to me a while ago ?

...........best to apply the product to a cloth then wipe the leather

 

[CKeeler]

I use Lexol cleaner with Lexol conditioner afterward. Always make sure to use a horsehair brush when cleaning. Doesn’t require elbow grease. Gets right into the cracks of the leather and cleans very nicely.

I’ve used the Zaino Bros For years, but was never wild about the smell. Someone on this board recommended Moneyworths. I tried it out and really liked it. It cleans really well and also conditions. I also picked up the protector spray, but I haven’t used that yet.

I've never used 303 leather stuff but I use 303 aerospace protectant on my dash and have for years and its top shelf stuff, it has spf sun protection and a matte finish that looks great.
