lol cuz, was jus checking if any body recommends any previously used products, i tried turtle wax leather care, but didnt work out too well:yuck:

How about a nice leather cream that's non oily but at the same time will keep the leather soft and supple which in turn should stop prevent further cracking ....

Shield Leather wipes... if you can find it. Easy to use and works great on my 540's 17 year old steering wheel. :thumb:

Colonite vinyl and leather wax works great. I use it maybe every 2nd or 3rd week on my interior.

Does it leave s sticky/oily residue? i only ask because its a wax?

Heard nothing but good things about the Colonite brand though.....

Nope you apply, let it dry and wipe it off with a microfiber towel. Leaves a nice matt finish. Works wonders on the seats and dashboard. Sometimes I like to leave my car in the sun for a while after applying so that it really seeps into the leather.

Really? I never had a problem, but I'll keep that in mind next time:thumbs: I normally apply a coat of Smart leather cleaner and conditioner to clean the leather before applying the colonite. Keeps the leather moist and has a nice natural leather smell to it. This I use almost weekly to clean the leather.

i use meguirs leather treatment
seems to work well so far :thumbs:

 

[akash]

I use the addis leather wipes and then the Meguirs Leather cream

so i was on a random mission to get some paint for the home at our local hardware store,
i walked past the car products section and stumbled across those scarce Sheild leather wipes...however theres 3 different types of wipes?

any recommended one that i should use? :fencelook:

I have always used the actual BMW leather cleaner and lotion.

Bit pricey, but works wonders, no residue and smells just like a new car.

Beats the sun blindfolded!:thumbs:

How much are the bmw products?

Last time I bought it was about 90 for the cleaner and 350 for the lotion.

But it lasts very long.
