leather seat care

Leatherique makes very nice products.

I also use Lexol with good results.

Good luck!

I agree with Brucelee on the Lexol products. Easy two step process that I've been using for many years.

Zymol also makes a good leather conditioner, but not the Zymol you can buy at your local auto parts store. That's the pedestrian crap made by Turtlewax (who bought Zymol a few years ago). Try California Car Cover Company for real Zymol stuff.

Hi,

Been using Leatherique for years on cars with 25 y.o. leather and it's as new. Tried them all, but never found anything which worked better.

That said, most (not all) automotive leather is really inferior grade to that used in clothing, handbags and shoes and is so full of fillers and dye that the best thing to use is mild soap and lots of water. Few products will actually penetrate past the dye into the leather.

I don't know about the leather Porsche uses, but it certainly isn't top Grade like the Connelly leather in my Lotus Esprit. I suspect it's just run-of-the-mill auto leather and not anything special.

I use leatherique on mine, but only because I already have an ample supply of the stuff on hand, and it works well. But, if I didn't have it, I'd just go the soap and water route...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
