Toby 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 well I tend to use Lord Sheraton leather cream - name is a bit poncy but does seem to work ok - you can get it in most decent supermarkets I think Link to post Share on other sites
Roan 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Gliptone is the only leather cleaner/treatment I would recommend. Any detailers will tell you the same thing, but check out this thread... http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=33136&highlight=leatherMK3 Golf as well! (someone on here?)

Roan 0 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 You're right xyber... £1000 and counting for me. Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 £300 this month for me OPPS!Halfords do tubs of leather wipes aswell which are good to keep in the car just incase of a spill Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Gliptone all the way, leaves a nice satin finish and not that gloosy plastic finish like some products can.And its true what Xyber said visting those sites will cause you to spend more money. You can buy it off ebay aswell Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Yep, you go on there for some shampoo and a wash mitt and then it starts, you browse through, think 'ohhh that looks good' or 'I like the look of that' next thing you know youve got £70 worth in your basket! Glad they dont offer free shipping for over £100 or id get really carried away Link to post Share on other sites
