Use hand lotion before working on something dirty, much easier to clean your hands afterwards.

Ok, I've just ordered a pot on eBay. I will try it on my leather settee first!

While we are on the subject of skin products doing other jobs, I was told that Avon skin so soft original oil worked well as a fly repellant. I do a bit of night fishing so wanted to try it out. I bought a couple of bottles.
The midges thought it was great and I still got bitten. However, by chance one day I sprayed some on my hands after I had been painting and used a solvent to get the paint off. My hands were very dry and I thought the oil would replace the moisture. I then noticed that the skin so soft was a better paint solvent than the cellulose thinners I had used! Since then, If I get any paint on my hands, I use this oil to remove it. It works very well, even on semi dry paint and no harmful ingredients.

Sales of Nivea are about to spike ;-)

Also every professional I know that works with leather vouched for fatty body creams to rejuvenate the leather, I also do this to my leather sofas when I go on vacations leaving it to soak while I´m away, and it looks like new when I return! My parents did the same when I was a kid and 40 years ago there wasn´t a car care market!
I imagine it looks funny but I treat an entire car interior with a 2€ can of Nivea/year!

Is the OP really talking about this "NIVEA" body cream (a beauty product in UK) - surely not - surely its some car care product in Portugal ?

That´s the one, leather is like wood even after being dead it is in some way "alive" and gets dry and britle as it looses it´s natural oils and Nivea and the like are superb in replaicing the fat it lacks keeping it smooth and elastic,
There are proper products but the end result it´s the same, nurture the skin, I´ve been using Nivea from the start with great results as you can see, very easy to apply and penetrates the leather fast, and cheap, I´ve tried others in another car but the result wasn´t better and another thing.............Nivea smells better! (probably related with some ifant memories hehehe!)

Well, leather is a skin after all, albeit a dead one... So don't delay and smear some body butter on your seats today!

Early airbag steering wheel yes!

Every year in the summer I clean the seats, 1st vaccumclean, 2nd I use warm water with a little of neutral soap disolved and a soft cloth and finaly I apply a coat of "Nivea" original body cream (the dense one in a can) to nurture the leather and leave it in the sun for a few hours to open the pores of the leather so it can absorb the fatty cream, after that I wipe the excesse with a cloth and voila soft elastic leather for another year. Of course I take care when entering and leaving the seat to minimise the wear to the side bolsters!

Very nice and lovely seats. Where is the S2 steering wheel?

That’s the early airbag wheel I reckon.

When you say you clean leather once a year with nivea what is that because in UK nivea are beauty products etc lol
