MAB Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Hi all, I have been told that baby wipes are ideal for cleaning the leather interior of my GT, but another friend who is an upholsterer has said that this would ruin the natural oils in the leather. What do the wise and wonderful think? Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I have some autoglym leather restore and care stuff. I also bought some stuff from the ideal home show that is a propper leather feed and preserve - that is for use on leather furniture, but works great on car upholstery too. The Autoglym stuff I use is this: £5.99 from Halfrauds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetstan Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I also use the stuff above as its quality, however before applying it I wipe the leather down with these new leather cleaning wipes you can buy or in my case steal from my Mum Then apply the auto glym and it replenishes the leather...Best to use often in the summer with the heat in the car constantly making the seats hot.

H5 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I use AutoGlym leather cleaner and then AutoGlym Leather Care Cream and it does a top job. Easy to use, and the colour of the seats certainly comes back. Smells nice too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

944tman Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 The problem with 'clean and feed' products is one part is designed to remove oily stains and grease, the other is designed to add lanolin and suitable oils - so one product cannot perform a best of breed function for both aspects. It is going to be a compromise. I would recommend a kit of 2 products, and the Race Glaze Leather Care Kit at £19.99 contains 2 separate gentle products plus brush and applicator whihc all works a treat on my cream leather seats. I cleanse annually, feed twice a year. See www.raceglaze.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Separate Autoglym Leather Cleaner & Leather Care Cream. Both can be bought in Halfrauds. I clean mine & especially get the care cream on them as much as possible. I think your mate is right - baby oil will ruin the natural oils in the leather. It will look nice for a little bit granted as the oil will all sit on the surface but ultimately you'll end up with dry & cracked leather I'd almost guarantee it.

Trev-the-Rev Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I use Connerly hide cleaner and hide food. It ain't cheap but among the best imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
