| Re: leather care I use GT11 Conditioner and GT12 Cleaner from "thepolishingshop.co.uk" £11.50 the pair incl p&p, as I remember. Good stuff and leaves a lovely leathery aroma as well.

| Re: leather care I've used the orange zymol spray you get from Halfords followed by the autoglym leather conditioner.

| Re: leather care Auto glym works well. Used it on my golf mk3 leather and it made such a difference keeping it looking top notch. Now using it on the vRS and it brings it up a treat!! |

| Re: leather care Lincoln Saddle and Leather Soap with Lanolin from Battle, Hayward & Bower Ltd, Lincoln LN3 4NP. Try horsey outlets near you. No connection with them, just used the stuff for years. |

| Re: leather care If you want really good stuff and can stretch the budget then I'd go for Gliptone. I have the Autoglym cleaner and conditioner and it's good and reasonably priced and couldn't justify the dearer stuff at the time. |

| Re: leather care On my old Capri 280 with full leather interior i used to use Connoly Hide food followed by Autoglym Leather care cream and finish off with some Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber care which brought the shine up a treat.
