Leather feeder and protector.

[Q7quattro]

Spent 3 hours today , cleaning leather and applied feeder/ protector to all 7 seats / door cards etc.

didnt use AUDI product ,I used products by GUARDSMAN .(given this by furniture company that supplied my leather sofas)



Anyone used the AUDI products ?

[Guest 2]

I use Tanners Reserve stuff. Audi's stuff is probably AG in an Audi bottle.

Funny as I was about to say the same Chris

I tried both audi and ag and they look and smell the same - I stick with ag as it is cheaper and available for local shops ;)

[Q7quattro]

What is AG ?

[Guest 2]

Auto Glym.

Whlist on the subject, what do you guys use to clean interior plastic with (dashboard etc)?

[Guest 2]

This - Natural Look New Shine Dressing 16 oz (http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/New_Car_Dressing_p/newshn.htm) and a microfibre.

Lasts forever and smells lovely.

Cheers will purchase ......

about 20 years ago, I used to use Back to Black on my MK 2 Golf GTI ..which now seems crude by comparison.

Stick with Autoglym and use their vinyl & rubber.......its water based so no oily residue and gives a matt finish so no glare either, it also has a lovely lemony citrus fresh scent to it.
You can also use this on your door rubbers / seals etc

Back to the leather cleaner etc......I used the Autoglym leather cleaner and balm a few days ago on mine, worked an absolute treat and its all now soft supple an clean....

It too would suggest the vinyl and rubber from AG

It lasts but doesn't put a horrible gloss coating on everything like the inside if a minicab


Smells nice as well which is always a bonus ;)

You can't 'feed' sealed leather such as car seats like you can say a saddle.
I have changed over from the oily cleaner/conditioners to something that removes all these deposits:

For the dash etc.. I have found this is matt, non-greasy and safe to use (no solvents):
Halfords | Armor All Semi-Matt Protectant - 300ml (http://www.halfords.com/motoring/cleaning-products/interior-cleaning-products/armor-all-semi-matt-protectant-300ml)

As above it depends on the leather some is sealed with lacquer and some is not

Dr leather works well with the added bonus we can use it in the house! AG interior trim for the cabin and aerospace 303 for the engine bay.
