dried up leather seats... whats a good way

[Justin@Adams]

Hey mercedesbenz911,

I would suggest using a strong leather cleaner, and follow that up with a good conditioner. When shopping for conditioners I look for ones that have UV protection and Moisturizers!!

Let me know if this helps!!

Thanks,

Ok, thanks. The car is in storage as it is the middle of winter but I will certainly try it in spring!

good luck.

ya. i bought a buck skin, living leather , jacket from "leather ranch'', 27 yrs ago or so. hand colord ect. they said to keep the jacket suple & the colors vibrant to use "mink oil" i did for many years, its absolutly amazing stuf on leather, used it on ball gloves, shoes, ect. im sold & would use it on my benz in a minut, i warm it up so its liquid, then paint it on with a badger hair brush. the only concern id have is after it likes to colect dirt,dust! & the leather will slightly strech due to its new elasticisity ( spelling might not be corect ) but as it dries out should stifen up a bit. dont do it very often or i would think your seats will becom too saturated, & dirty.

How about zaino leather in a bottle?

I have great experience with leatherique. Really a wonderful product. Buy the 32 oz bottle. It will allow 2 generous applications.

I just got a bottle of Zaino leather in a bottle. I am planning to use that for the leather smell. No idea how it works.

Leatherique is great stuff. I can not get away from Saddle Soap first though. The stuff goes a long way in terms of cleaning. It has a little bit of lanolin in it which helps tremendously. Remember, leather seats are supposed to be a matte kind of finish, not shiny! Shiny means the poors are clogged. Leather is nothing but skin. It is something that needs to be cleaned (like ours) and moisurized even more. For in between maintenance I like the Meguiars gold class products as well.
