    as a valeter i could only really recommend the products i use, they are very expensive but well worth the money, otherwise, use nice warm very slightly soapy water should do the trick, you can also buy leather treatment from many places, but please dont go to a pound shop as the stuff they have is useless, try a decent motor factors for maybe some auto glymm leather care, if not i use auto smart but around £30 for 1ltr bottle lol

    Yes go onto the swissvax site they will give you an exact colour for your car if you want, its made in Germany. I had to get for my dads S60R and they gave me the blue dye plus a seprate bottle with the metalic flake that is in the leather. Top quility product
    Thanks

    Im not a big fan of auto smart, I still have some of there products but tend to just use it on the V40. Still have to open my quick detailer spray, hope that works good. my leather cleaner is £36 just for 250ml !!!!!

    Am i right in saying you use the soapy warm water to, kinda open the pores on the leather and you nurish the leather treatment in whilst the leather is damp?

    My seats are not that bad nut i want to treat them again very soon and am open to suggestions.

    Lee I have read a few things about leather specialists, and a good few will recommend you only use water to clean it AND you dont use conditioner as it just atracts dirt.
    Thanks
