Default Tell me your leather secrets

Lets here how you care for your leather seats. Products, techniques, how often, etc.... I got new skins this spring and am thinking I should do something to keep them spiffy for years to come.

Thanks.

I simply wipe mine down with a damp cloth a couple of times a year and then use the Mcquires leather cleaner and conditioner in the spray bottle. I'm not sure about the long range impact but it definitely makes them have a little sheen, soft and smells great!

I'm an Adam's freak. I use their Leather Cleaner on all of my surfaces in the Vette when needed, but their Leather Conditioner is off the hook! I rub it in by hand, then buff it with a microfiber towel. Not shiny, not dull. And makes the leather so darn soft and supple. I've tried a lot of other stuff,including Meguiars and Mother's, but I like the results from the Adam's.

I love the Adams products too but haven't tried the leather conditioner...I'll have to give it a try.

I'm going to get with GB and pick up some of the Adams cleaner and conditioner. I hear the VRT is pretty awesome stuff as well.

The VRT is one of their best products. Vinyl, Rubber, Tire. In other words, use it on any vinyl or rubber surface. Makes the tires black but not shiny.
I use all of the Adam's products on my car now. Love the stuff.
