Best Leather Cleaner/Conditioner for W211 E55
Hello all,
What is the best cleaner and conditioner which is safe on our leather? I assume our E55's have Nappa leather or some kind of quality genuine leather.
About a decade ago I used Lexol cleaner and conditioner on my E46 M3 and the leather turned out supple, matte, and gorgeous. - Not sure if the chemicals, ph etc. are still the same or if a different brand is preferred for our specific leather.
Anyone have a recommendation? (Also, can you use the same product on the dashboard leather, pleated bunched leather on the doorcards?)
Thanks so much!

Leatherique. Bit extreme for maintenance cleaning but great for a baseline starting point. If you can do without driving the car for a day or two, you will be amazed. The stuff is phenomenal.

Thank you! Looks like a great product from what I can see. Do you have an applicator recommendation? It looks like some people say paint brushes/microfiber towels etc..

Ive used this religiously for a decade. Fantastic stuff and unmatched. Look at the manufacturer instructions, then online videos. Follow the manufacturer directions....

And much easier than Leatherique. Latex gloves, have a ball and forget about it.
Now I don’t know if the W211 and W220 AMG have the same leather. Straining my memory there.
Hopefully you can zoom in here. That’s my ‘06 with over 150k on the clock. Kids grew up in the back seat. In better shape now than then. These days I’ll use Mothers VLR, McGuiars, Griot, whatever. But for revitalization you can’t beat Leatherique.

I've been using Geist lately, on recommendations in a different forum. Very impressed with it!
I like how the leather doesnt become all shiny and slippery with it. I've used it on another vehicle with nappa leather and it has a nice matte sheen.
I used the Geist 3+ kit for cars 3 years old and up.

Take care of your leather seats to make them last. But when the leather fails, GAHH was the way to go.

I've not verified if what they have matches code 584 Braun. Hope it does!
