What do you use for leather care?

[stevieyid]

I have tried many things to bring the dash bord up to a nice shine but so far have failed to do so? What do u lot use? Also what do u use on your leather? Mine needs a bit of treatment to restore it back to its to former self

A good friend of mine whos a bit of a car detailing geek (V dub head) swears by meguires black plastic re coulourer (or something like that...mecguires anyhow!)

Auto Glym vinyl and rubber cleaner stuff, cleans it all up a treat, you dont want it shiney tho, otherwise once the sun comes out, all you get in your front windscreen as you drive is a very big reflection of the dash!!!

Shiney dash boards are for fords\vauxall only imo ,you can make it look el cheapo.

I have been told not to use Armor all because it contains silicone. And being plastic is a petroleum product it needs to breath and the silicone clogs the pores and actually will cause the dash to crack.

Just what I was told

I love my Meguires Dash and Trim Foam.

I agree, The dash foam makes it look like new. not wet

When I get a chance I'm gonna cover my dash in alcantara or some micro fiber.

the autoglym stuff as mentioned earlier is excellent, i usually only have to use it once on the plastics and that's it

i've used armour all for years and non of the dashes on my car and non have cracked.
I doubt the validaty of the above to be honest.

get "liquid leather" cleaner + conditioner , search on ebay for a deal on both...

[Dpicariello]

I'm also a big fan of meguiars stuff as well as using their dashboard shine I use their leather conditioner. The conditioner takes a while to rub in and is pretty hard work but the results were really good.
I've heard the same stories about Armour all but only when the car is kept in the sun a lot. I've never had a problem when i've used it on previous cars.
