Leather care for our AMG leather package'd car

What do you guys use on your leather to protect it? I checked in the detail forum, but I want to see what you guys use.

What I like!
Good question. I'm wondering the same. I've had my car almost a year and I think it's time for some leather maintenance.

I'm looking for something that doesn't make the leather shiny and doesn't "smell"..........

About every two months until the summer then monthly. I doubt I'll ever do the back seats though.

Here is the link from the Detail forum for leather care products. http://www.detailedimage.com/Leather-C27/

I don't know which one to buy.

i have MB tex but i still use meguiars gold series leather care, i use all their products and am always very happy with them. as far as price/quality they are top notch in my book and i used to work down the road from their corp headquarters so i like to support them.

dont skip the backseats!!!! they need love too.

once every 3-5 weeks should be fine.

I ordered the 303 protectant, should be coming in soon, will try it out to see how well it works. I'm probably going to order the cleaner too.

I use Lexol... that is what they sell in parts. You can probably find it cheaper online compared to the dealership.

I just used Meguiar's gold series leather care. Rub it in with a microfiber towel, and you're done. Very Easy! It makes the leather better than new. IMHO.

bushburninc63-I've been using Aerospace 303http://303 Aerospace Protectant on leather & vinyl for over 15 years. The stuff works great. The leather dash & seats of my 15 year old Porsche Cabriolet look brand new. My neighbor owns a classic boat restoration shop and uses it on the leather in the old classic wood boats. The stuff is second to none and helps protect us from the hot Florida sun.

I just did my black leather interior with this Meguires Rich leather cleaner and conditioner, gold series, and my sentiments exactly as this poster, looks better than new, should have done this a long time ago!

I applied the 303 protectant yesterday, looks good, except for the fact that I didn't evenly apply it so some areas are darker than others. Need to evenly apply it. no greasy oily crap. seems like it would work pretty darn good.
