Help With My Leather

I was reading in the detailing section that on the C32 there is a special coating that is put on the leather? I was going to clean and cond the seats or at least cond them but I do ot want to do anyting to harm this special coating.

Can I just use my leather cleaner on all the leather except the where the leather has all those little holes?

I forgot what leather cleaner/cond I have but I know it is supposed to be one of the best. You actually rub it in by hand, which bring the dirt to the top and then you use their cleaner to take off the dirt. Has to sit like 24 hours on the seat if I remember.

I have the two tone leather.

I have never heard about any SPECIAL coating, but I just use Meguyers leather cleaner/conditioner on mine. And yes, even over the lovely little holes, and let leather Gods sort it out.

See yeah

Perfect I will just use my cleaner and then cond. If I can find the thread I will post it. I thought it said something about a special coating on the leather in our cars.

I used to use Lexol and then came across this new product that works much better. It cost some more but is much better. My buddy had just used Lexol on his Porsche and came over and tried the cleaner and cond I had and he could not believe the dirt it took out of the pours in the leather. The Lexol cleans the top of the leather but this stuff gets down into the pours and pushed the dirt out. You have to let it sit for 24 houres then clean.

You will not find a better cleaner and cond

I use Zymol leather cleaner, but I never actually used the conditioner. usually just wipe it with water after cleaning it with the leather cleaner.
