Default Calling Guys (& Gals) In The Know...

So for over 20 years on my jag leather I've used Scuff Master Leather repair from the UK with Gliptone Liquid Leather cleaner and conditioner. Always been happy with it. I liked the fact the products get deep into the leather and do a great job at softening the leather and making it more supple, it doesn't just sit on the leather leaving it greasy feeling doing nothing but mask. One of its biggest selling points was also the fact it left a deep rich smell of leather for a heck of a long time after use which is the only thing our cars should smell of in my humble opinion.

My question as I'm out of Gliptone, its getting expensive, its getting like rocking horse sh*t to find and i haven't tried other products, what products is everyone else using to make the leather supple, clean, conditioned and not smelling like a bad woman's boudoir? Is there anything newer on the market that the forum rates, or should I just stick to what I know and I'm happy with?

Thanks in advance

The good stuff... or is there better??

I have been very pleased with Leatherique products, available online if I recall. There's a gent named Robert Lawson just over into Canada from Niagra Falls who is a distributor. 905-937-2159, leatheriquecanada@computan.on.ca ... I've been using this stuff with great results for 25 years.

Good morning Eliotb and thanks for the reply. I do vaguely recall the Leatherique brand although I'm pretty sure I've never tried it. Looking at reviews online and youtube etc it comes with high regard. Only question I have is assuming it smells of leather, is it a lasting smell or does the pristine cleaner need to be added every couple of weeks or so?

Thanks again :0)

In a year in which I manage to remember to do this twice, I count it as a good year. Ergo, it does not need constant refreshing. I usually do it once a year. The product also has a very long shelf life. I'm using bottles I bought probably a decade ago. I'm attaching, I hope, a PDF of the instructions on the use of the product. Hope it helps. I'm clearly a big fan of the stuff. It has a slight pleasant aroma after you've gotten the product into the leather, though I honestly can't say it's something that immediately says "leather." What I care about is how it protects, preserves and restores the leather.

Eliot
