For most stuff I'd agree Meguiars is the way to go, but for leather (admitedly not used in the coop so far, but for many other cars) I think Gliptone is a better option, at least IMHO <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Liquid Leather does the job - I think that's the same as/made by Gliptone?

I use the Autoglym stuff which does the job, howvever I think I'll try liquid leather next.
Has anyone gone from auotglym to liquid leather? Which did they find better and why?

Gliptone Stuff works well - but takes a good while to absorb the conditioner. I'd use Autoglym leather cleaner + conditioner if you want the leather smell - easily best I've used for this. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I use This One . For me, is the best product for leather care. You could use the Leather Care or Leather Rejuvenator. I am using the Rejuvenator (Very Greasy) now because when I bought the car the interior was really bad.

just been to halfrauds, got a few things but they only had autoglym leather cleaner, and at the time there were no autoglym recommendations so i didnt buy it. hehe, darn it, will have to go back again another day.
thanks for all the replies though guys, really helpful forum <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

ideally you want a leather cleaner AND a conditioner as two seperate items to get the best conditioning for your leather. Liquid leather sent me my stuff within 3 days

yep, liquid leather by gliptone is great. my m3 leather is practically new and unused - now its got the smell!!
must admit that the cleaner wasnt the best around - in fact, it didnt actually clean anything like what the advertising suggested.
