What do people recommend for keeping the leather in the car in good condition? I would prefer some wipes that don't leave a shine.

I have used the Supagard wipes in the past in my old M3 which were good.

Thanks guys.

Once or twice a year I clean the seats with Gliptone's "Liquid Leather" intensive cleaner (GT12) and then apply their conditioner (GT11).

For in between times I use Gliptone's quick gentle leather cleaner spray (GT15) without any conditioner.

Keeps smelling like new. :lol:

Very easy, wipe on ... wait a few minutes, buff off with separate microfiber cloth.

Gliptone and Liquid Leather are the same thing.

Dr Leather Wipes for me.

On modern automotive leather there is no need for conditioner, all leather is painted and has a top coat on (much like your paintwork). All the conditioners do is sit on top of that and add shine and attract more 'dirt'.
