Leather care advice needed: Autoglym reviews?
Hi Guys
I have had my eyes on Autoglym
See here for AMAZING prices
http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...d=m37b0s3515p0
2.5L shampoo only £9.76
There is
Leather cleaner
Leather cream
Leather balm
Is the cleaner any good?
Which is best out of the cream and balm?
The cream has more reviews (halfords) prob because its cheaper
but i can not find it on autoglyms website?
And i hear these give a glossy finish????????
Is this true?
I like my leather flat black... almost charcoal
Anything else on the market that can keep the matt look?

To be honest I have not used there leather car cleaner series... But do you actually have the leather seats or do you have the MB-Tex?
If you have the MB tex I use the Autoglym rubber and vinyl care for interior and exterior. I even use it on the seats, its great. It goes on hi-gloss but within one minute or so it dries flat black. My ritual is to do all of interior seating surfaces and dashboard and door panels with the rubber and vinyl care spray. Then I do the tires (to hydrate them and clean any brown off) then just hit the tires with Meguiars hot tire shine (best tire shine I have ever used, and it lasts a good week).
Anyway, back on topic, I love the autoglym product line, but have not used the leather care line (and despite me not being able to locate it in the United States) I am fine using the vinyl and rubber care spray (especially since I have the MB-Tex seats, which is glorified vinyl.

Autoglym is a quality product that's just now starting to hit OTC here in the states, but has been OTC for a while in UK and in Europe. My experience with AG products have been great so far, but have not used their leather products. Are you looking for more of a maintenance product, or deep clean?

Connolly manufactures the leather for your car, along with Maybach, Jaguar, Ferrari, Bentley and Rolls Royce, etc. and they've been doing it for like 150 years.
I use their cleaner and conditioner and my car still smells like new over a year and a half later.
EDIT: It also has the original matte appearance. No gloss added at all.

Autoglym products are excellent. The Classic car fraternity live on them in the UK. Recommended by Connolly, Rolls Royce & Aston Martin & have been for years.

I have the nappa leather
Just looking to soften the seats, iv noticed they have started to form lines
It all started the first time i used the heated seat function... prob not use it again unless the cream makes them more supple
I will give autoglym a try! iv had a poke around google, alot of bmw owners have used it and kept the matte look
Will update after next pay check with results (end of the month)
I have a £70 order on hold from that site, its soooo cheap
The equivalent in the uk would cost over £200
Im going to put the car wash out of business lol, I used to go there twice a week in my high mileage days, 6000 miles in 2.5 months!
