Can anyone recommend any good cleaning and protection products for leather interiors?

I have always worked with Zymol products.

The conditioner works fantastic, but the cleaner doesn't.

I have bought Gliptone cleaner and conditioner yesterday from a professional valeter.
I will try it on Mak's Lexus on Wednesday and tell you how it worked.

As above. the Zymol one is good but a bit expensive for what it is.

We personally really rate the Race Glaze Cleaner and Balm. It's what i use on 99% of customers cars 8)

Key is to have a right leather brush, I heard. Gets the dirt loose.

How do you clean the stitching? Especially on a light leather with light coloured thread?

I've never worried about cleaning dark leather as the stitching is usually dark. Therefore, any dirt removed from the leather may well soak into the stitching but not show. Pale leather seats I've always avoided cleaning because of the stitching soaking up the dirt.

Sure the RS4 has leather and so does the Range. :confused:
