Leather care

What is a good leather cleaner and conditioner for our cars? I've done research and have found leather honey, bickmore bick 4 and Trinova to be highly recommended by many places. Anyone have experience with these on our leather seats? Thank you for your time and help..

I've been using Griot's Garage 3-In-1 Leather and really like the results.
Check out some of the reviews on Amazon.

Are you sure you have leather?

Most folks have MBtex. For leather, I've been using Connolly Hyde (hide) Food for decades. No issues in this extreme Vegas environment. It is the product recommended by Rolls Royce and Jaguar. Apply 2-4 times a year.

I use zaino z9 and z10! It keeps the car smelling like new and makes the leather oh so soft!

Sport package doesn't mean anything with regards to leather. MB-Tex is a fake leather like vinyl. Real leather was an extra cost option. You can tell by the way the stitching goes on the seat. One horizontal slit in the middle is MB-Tex, about 3-4 vertical strips is real leather. Or use a vin decoder and it will tell you whether you have real leather or Mb-tex. Most cars had MB-Tex unless it was an E550 which came with real leather as standard.

I use the leather stuff on it too. Seems to work ok. Mostly just to clean it, not to treat it. Others were just pointing out that it's not real leather.
