Advice on leather and vinyl treatments?

[Bimmerle]

Can someone advise on suitable products for treating/preserving leather seats/trim and plastic trim (not necessarily the same product). In terms of the plastic trim, I'm looking for something which ideally gives zero shine, and keeps the matt look. The leather treatment should be suitable for the treated leathers used in cars (not say for aniline dyed or unsplit furniture leathers).

I use zaino package. Works great and none of that shiney crap. Used it on my sisters 7 yr old 3 series and results were beyond my expectations.

I like Aerospace 303 for plastics/rubber.

I still haven't got a chance to get the leather product yet, but from my research, Lecol, zaino and leather master are the top picks

I’m with Sparoz, I use Aerospace 303 on the plastics etc
And have used both Zaino and Lexol (http://www.lexol.com/auto.html) on the 135i and I actually like the zaino more. To me it feels like its moisturises more, feels nice to sit on after and it smells nice! Both gives zero shine

Thank you for the advice guys. I have to say Car Care Products run an excellent delivery service. After reading your posts yesterday, I placed an order for the 303 protectant and the Zaino "leather in a bottle". I came in to work this morning (in Brisbane) and found the package on my desk!

Love that leather in a bottle smell! Have you used the products yet? What did you think?

Once again, a thank you to those who recommended the products. The car looks great, and the leather smell is good too, even though I smelt like a well-tanned saddle (it could double as a great after-shave if you wanted to pick up a line-dancing cow-girl in a C&W bar).

I also treated my wife's Mini to the products, and she is very pleased as well.
