I'm using Gliptone leather cleaner and liquid leather after reading heaps of posts. Not sure if it is the best but it works well for me MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

Unless the Scotchguard has blocked the pores on the leather compleatly the conditioner will work in through the pores . It won't be nearly as good but I can't see it forming a total barier . 2008 MY Supercharged

You can't "feed" modern surface-coated leather, it's a fallacy. |

I used Gliptone once and my wife complained that it smelt "too leathery" Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

You need to maintain moisture levels only. Oil or wax-based "conditioners" are a waste of time on surface-coated leather, they will just attract more dirt and thereby cause more wear. |

I use a 'Car Plan Leather Connesuer kit (forgive the spelling, on nights this week so 'brain fitted for but not with' ) it has cleaner and leather cream, was autocar 'best buy' and does a good job, leaving a nice subtle smell of new leather when used.
