Since I picked up my A/C, I have been concerned about the leather interior. I always thought the leather felt "cheap" and dry. I was very concerned about hot Summer weather and the seats really drying out.

I have tried just about everything I could find. I tried Meguiars, Turtle Wax Ice, Blackmagic and even AmorAll to condition the seats. (Actually, ArmorAll's new Leather Gel was pretty good and does NOT smell like ArmorAll.)

I love Gliptone's Wash and Glow car wash soap, so I thought I would look into their Liquid Leather Care. It turns out that it is recommended by Jaguar for their leather interiors, and there are many car restores that swear by it.

I was lucky to find a bottle at Autobarn (not a stock item, someone ordered it but did not pick it up.) At first, I thought it smelt a little funky, but I tried it anyway. The results are amazing!

The seats soaked it up instantly and was completely absorbed with no streaks! The seat now look great! A deep color and beautiful, NATURAL sheen like fine leather! They even SMELL like a fine leather jacket! After yesterday's 90 degree weather, the seats are so soft, it's like a replaced the seats

It's called Liquid Leather Conditioner by Gliptone http://www.gliptone.com. They are one of the original premium car care lines. You can buy it online through Amazon and autobarn.com. There is also a Liquid Leather Cleaner, and Autobarn has a "kit" at a good price which also includes the cleaner, the conditioner and the Glipstik stain removing pen for under $20:
