Time to restock on some essentials...
I will be picking up my shiney new RS4 this week so need to restock/add to my cleaning gear.
What is the best gear to use on leather? I want to keep it all in A1 condition but don't want to apply anything that will discolour the stiching. Also how often should you apply as i am guessing you can do too much?

I am also out of car shampoo so what is the best gear on the market these days - poorboys or Jeffs or anything else?
Cheers

I use Poorboys leather cleaner on the interior of my TVR and think it gives excellent results (and smells nice too). Tend to apply it monthly / bi-monthly.
As for shampoo, i'm currently using Meguiars but will probably replace with Poorboys super slick'n'suds when it's run out.

Liquid Leather
Will either affect the stitching though?

Just be wary of the smell issue with Gliptone; to some people it smells fine, but to others (inc me and Clark), it smells of old people rather than leather! Other worth considering that smell nice and work well: budget = Poorboys Leather Stuff, luxury = Zymol Treat, lovely product, works great and smells very pleasant. Shampoo-wise, for a good value gentle product, it's hard to beat Meguiars Shampoo Plus, but for a little bit extra cleaning power then Poorboy's Slick n Suds is a great alternative.
