Been using the Meguirs Gold Class rich leather cleaner and conditioner for the last 3 years on ours and it is excellent. Dash, steering wheel, door trim and seats are looking in excellent condition despite all our outback travels. Not greasy so no slip which is great for the steering wheel

x3 Meguiars gold class isn't cheap to buy, but a little goes a long way and it seems to have looked after my car interior well for a few years now.
Probably cheaper in the long run buying a quality product. I went for the Autoglym when someone recommended it but for the dash at least I don't like it. That's the part which is going to be subject to the most sun so I want it well protected.
Thnx. all for your contributions, much food for thought there but Meguries it looks like for me.
Cheers.

Yep agree. Just purchased a replacement at Repco today for $27 so $9 per year or .75C per month with enough left in the current container for the front seats at least.Quote:

Is the dash leather or synthetic?, the decision seems splitQuote:

I've used Meguires products on the body so will do the same inside and see how we go. Certainly don't like the white "ash" type residue which comes up from using the Autoglym.
Thnx.

Never experienced the white residue with the stuff we use and yes the dash top, window sills and armrests on our D4 are leather as well as the seatsQuote:

It only takes a few drops to treat a seat, but it takes more than 24 hours to soak into the leather (on a warm day). The condition of the leather has come back to a really good condition over the last few months, applying once every few weeks. The leather texture has come back on the front seats and they are starting to feel like new again, great product, highly recommend using this.
I use Meguires also. I was in supacheap once about to purchase another brand and the rep from Meguires saw me. He pointed out the Meguires was better as it didn't leave white marks in perforated leather like on my old D2 ES.Quote:
