fellsteruk Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hi all I did search the forum but struggle to find my answer so sorry if this has been covered. Basically I pickup my 350 54 plate this weekend and I want to condition the seats as best I can to remove the shinny look and restore the matte look. What am I best using and how do I get the desired end result. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jp606 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) You want Gliptone Leather Cleaner, Gliptone Leather Conditioner and a leather cleaning brush and a couple of cloths. First thing I did when I got my Z and the difference is incredible. Really easy to use and clear instructions on the bottle. The previous owner must have never treated the leather and a lot of crap came off them. Edited June 19, 2013 by Jp606 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive ordered all of the above to hopefully get rid of the smell, thanks for the links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilogikal1 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I use this; the cleaner's excellent and the balm leaves a nice, natural matte finish to the leather. Or these for the sake of ease (Envy also offer a member discount). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should get rid of the smell, the cleaner and conditioner do a very good job of bringing back the original leather smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I think the shiny look is better than the matte look. Apart from sliding around cus its so buffed dont use the halfrauds stuff if you want matte look, they go shiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fellsteruk Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 I actually have some autogylm leather cleaner and balm. Never used as I got it in a set and never had leather. Is that any good for this kind of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
