Leather pre-treatment?

3 days away from delivery of my RRS with Ivory leather - rather than pay (again) for dealer arranged Supaguard, Diamond Glaze or similar - does anyone have thoughts or experience on using a leather treatment on the seats. Or should I just be thinking about cleaning it properly frequently?!

Sorry if this is answered elsewhere...... ______________________________________________

I would simply keep it clean. Our unscientific tests have shown that Johnson baby wipes work well cleaning and moisturising the leather. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Have a look on eBay, they often have Autoglyms Lifeshine packs for sale not sure it the kit includes leather treatment but is cheaper than the dealers £200

I too have ivory interior, love the color however it's a bear to keep clean. With that said, a friend turned me on to his method for doing his Porsche. He and now I use a diluted mixture of Woolite and warm water. The leather comes out incredibly clean. I then treat the leather with an over the counter leather treatment.

You do need to keep on top of it... but the baby wipes work well, or if you want something that was designed for the purpose Meguiars Aloe Leather Cleaner Very Happy
