I was told not to use Armoral on the leather in my car? To use leather treatment? Now I have been useing Armoral for years? Is this true or what should I be using? thanks!

Meguires leather conditioner and cleaner. Its like a thick cream you rub into the leather.Then you take a clean rag and wipe it down.It helps keep the leather soft.I do my seats once a month during driving season

Does this leave any residue on the seats or if you accidently put to much is it hard to get out of the holes in the seats? You know what I mean? Those tiny holes all over the seat?

I put a lighter coat on the rag when I do those areas

Have you used the hand wipe ones? You think there is difference? Know what I'm talking about? :D

I use the same except I have a very soft brush that I use to work it in first then i take a regular terry cloth and wipe off. Sometimes I will do this twice to get a good cleaning.

Try Zaino's leather cleaner (Z9) and leather in a bottle (Z10).
This stuff smells like a pair of leather shoes when you open the bottle. Good stuff from a good company - here's the link http://www.zainobros.com

since leather is a skin you have to treat it like skin. clean and
condition it regularly especially if its exposed to the sun and heat . conditioning it will keep from craqcking and fading

Looks like you have a rag top also, I have always used Meguires leather conditioner and my leather looks like new.

:iagree: The leather cleaner and the conditioner work magic. It will make your seats look and smell like new. This is by far one of the best. All products from Zaino are great!!!! Also for the rag top, use Ragg Top.:cheers:
