Having addressed most of the technical issues recently, and throwing on a new set of shoes (the car came with Michelin winter tires...went with Kumho TA71 M/S all seasons), I've been addressing bringing the interior up to snuff. Only fault I see is that a PO was def a smoker...there is one small (and I mean 1mm) burn spot on the A pillar trim...I know it's there, but doubt anyone else would see it unless I pointed it out.

The driver seat has the usual minor cracking on the bottom bolsters, nothing 'broken through' per se, but the normal wear you'd expect on a 13 year old motor.
Scuttle leather is not bubbling (I religiously put a windscreen shield in when I park her outside), and the rest of the trim is in fine condition.

I'd like to keep the interior in as close to great condition as possible. Noting bugs me more than driving a car with dirty carpets, dusty trim, etc. Not OCD about it, but the interior gets regular cleaning and care.

So, looking for suggestions as to what is the best treatment for the leather. I know of, and have used Leatherique in the past to restore the interiors of Lotuses, my XJs, and the like, but the leather is not in need (yet) or bringing back from cardboard; it's still flexible and nice to the touch.

Griot's? Lexol? Connolly Hide Food? Something else?

What say the tribe?

FWIW, I'm in the northeast US, summers can get toasty/humid, winters can be frigid.

 

Following.
I want the knowledge that falls from this post.

FYI - I am in Eastern Canada, same weather / climate as you.

 

I use Autoglym Leather Care Balm twice a year (Spring and Autum) for my 2010 XJ (x351)
Living in Finland, we have freaking ice box winter and summer can be +32C (89F), like we have right now. (Yes! Enjoying that!)
Interior is still in very good condition, exept drivers seat start to show some surface wearing on 330t km (206t mil)

 

I've heard good things about the Autoglym product line. Hadn't thought about that, since it seems to be a common product on your side of the pond. Will check it out.

(As you can see, for a 13 year old/91K mile motor...the interior is in fine shape, and would like to keep it that way...)

 

Do you mean all of the interior, including seats, or just dashboard?

I think you mean, everything/everwhere interior.

I see that I can get it locally, so I'm exciteed.

 

All the interior where is leather. Seats all around, door cards, dash, central console.... its quite big job, so i usually spread it in two days of weekend.
