    Leather polish/conditoner?

    I've been using the stuff from Autoglym on mine for the past year but after a day or two there's a whitish powder shows especially on the dash. It wipes off with a damp chamois cloth (or what used to be chamois) but does anybody use anything better than this stuff?
    The seats don't seem to be as badly affected and I'm thinking they may be a different class of leather ....... who knows with LR?
    Advices please on what others use and have confidence in.

    PS. When parked I always use a sun screen to keep the worst of the sun off.

    I use the Mothers range with no issues or residue. I use the leather cleaner, followed by conditioner.

    Don't use leather conditioner on imitation leather. It will cause it to crack.
    How do I know - advised by upholsterer.
    HSE Freelander has genuine leather on seats but some, almost identical looking imitation leather on sides of seat. Don't know about other models but best to check.

    Thnx. Extreme but I and most others are led to believe the leather on the dash, door cappings and seats is actually real leather. It certainly looks like it anyway.
    I won't be putting anything on vinyl look alike stuff if I can help it.

    Have a look at the Bowdens leather cleaning products. I moved to Bowdens from Autoglym which is also good but I think the Bowdens is better. They have a good explanation of the products on their website.

    I use Gliptone on Lady Penelope's delicate hides. It’s a well respected product in classic car circles. Roadbend in Welshpool stock it and you can get it in litr bottles. Their leather cleaning product is also very good.

    cheers

    I use this. I got it a couple of months ago and finally got around to using it today! I couldn’t believe how dirty my seat was and it certainly softened the seats up. Very easy to use too. Very impressed with the way they came up. (The car is just over 18m old and has done 25k)

    Obvious, but the righthand side (closest) is Mothers cleaned and conditioned and the left side of the seat is how I acquired the vehicle.

    I have been told that Bowdens have put a lot of R & D into their products and their leather cleaning products are second to none.

    Beeswax actually conditions the leather. Some products just put on a glossy surface shine.
