Right guys I ran out the leather cleaner/care stuff that I got with the car.

I got some Mequiar's   http://www.halfords.com/motoring/car-cle...oner-400ml but I'm not too happy with it TBH it doesn't smell of anything nice and it doesn't seem to put a nice shine on the seats.

I have thought of getting the Sonax leather cleaner http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sonax-1837571-25...B00104YO20

What do you lot use?

I only use autoglym when possible Smile hmmm do you just spray that stuff on and rub it in? With the stuff I mentioned you spread it all over the seats and then leave it for a bit and rub it in...smells quite nice too and wasn't greasy Smile

The Autoglym leather treatments are designed to smell like new leather.

i agree rusty i have tried the meguiars leather cleaner and it spreads well
but it does not seem to make the leather as soft as the autoglym did
and also agree no nice leather smell autoglym is better than the meguiar's for sure
