Gliptone Conditioner seems to work very well. Never had a problem with it. 2011 Stornaway Grey 5.0SC Autobiography |

I always take the view of doing a seat at a time, so full wash and dry cycle, counting the back seats as one entire unit due to their contact with each other and then conditioning after a good while to dry.

leather needs feeding to keep it supple. If you clean it you should feed it. 2020 Porsche Panamera Turbo Hybrid (V FAST)

Well, I always used to believe the whole conditioning thing and when I look back it was the cleanliness I was impressed with.

Nothing but more paint ! Gliptone do some colour match kits specifically in range rover colours for scratches etc. I have never used on a car seat but recently used the black on a tumi brief case with excellent results and to date it's not rubbed of on anything. 2013 L405 AB 4.4SDV8 Luxor/Ivory, 2007 Vogue TDV8 Epson Green/Sand, 2008 Vogue TDV8 Buckingham Blue/Sand, 2003 Vogue 4.4 LPG Epsom Green/Sage, 1998 Vogue SE 4.6 LPG Epsom Green/Cream |

As above, trying to "condition" surface-coated leather can only be counter-productive. |
