Leather conditioner/cleaner recommendations

7smurfs · 05-07-2014, 08:56 PM

Anyone got a recommendation for a leather cleaner/conditioner to use on my coral red interior.

Looking at picking something (preferably inexpensive) up at repco/autobahn/supercheap/generic autoshop that will revitalise the weary leather and clean some too without the glossy look.

When I had the 135i vert with Coral leather, I used Meguiars Gold Class leather cleaner.

Easy to apply and cleans with ease.

Zaino is the best I've used so far. Z-9 (cleaner) and Z-10 (conditioner).

I've been using this, works well.

I did some research and I think leather masters is pretty good.
I have heard the stuff they sell at Rolls Royce is good too.

A lot of people recomend Zaino but I find it a bit harsh, the conditioner puts a shine on the leather and it has an artificial leather smell, I can see how some might like that though.

The leather in the one series is plastic coated so I am not even sure if it even needs a conditioner.

You might also want to buy leather masters stain lifter.

Really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have used it with great success on the Coral BMW leather for 3 years when I had the vert.

No problems with staining or harshness on the leather, and has a very mild leather scent.

You can imagine how dirty the interior on the vert gets from the open conditions.

on the Duragloss cleaner and conditioner from CCP.

Cleans with a matt finish not shiny which is what you want IMO.

That meguiars stuff isn't too bad, but there are much better product out there imo.

I found the duragloss products work really well, although the leather scent is a tad overpowering for some (I think it adds ambiance to the cabin)

I'm a fan of the zymol leather cleaner/conditioner, it has a subtle lanolin scent and leaves a nice supple finish.

Alternatively if you want something you can buy at your local autoparts retailer, i recommend the autoglym products.

I may just purchase autoglym or meguiars for this weekend - only time I have some free time to do some detailing work on the car!

In future will purchase the zainos!

EDIT: So what is the consensus about conditioner? Do I only need to purchase a cleaner or a conditioner + cleaner required?

They seem to be out of stock of the zaino.

I've used both and they are great.

I too have used both products. Either is good although I give the slight edge to the dura gloss. It's cheaper, doesn't make the seat as slippery as the zaino and the smell is not too strong.
