Swissol's leather treatment products are, like most of their stuff, excellent yet pricey. If the car's worth it, this is the stuff to use.

be careful what you use to clean your leather with, depending on which tannery the leather originally came from can effect how it reacts with different substances.

try the simple approach first, damp cloth, dont rub too vigerously as you may take the colour out of the leather. there are some leather 'rejouvinators' but whatever you try make sure you try it first on the underside of the seat to see how it reacts.

do not use anything like white spirit to clean the leather (we use it here but you have to be damn careful), water is generally the best way forward.

Vasseline

Or Cocoa butter

Buying expensive products is a waste of time.

All you need to do moisturise the leather then wipe it with a clean lint free cloth

The words of somebody who can't afford them. Sorry, but that's bollox, if you know what you're doing.

Not strictly true, all leathers are different, all leathers WILL react differently to substances.
