Hello All,

Recently got my ES... been looking around the sub on how best to clean the interior of the car. I would like a recommendation on my leather care routine (cleaning, conditioning + maintain?) and how often to do them.

I really enjoyed the new Flaxen smell it is very unique and I'd do anything to get that smell back again. Also since my seats are perforated, it needs to be perforated-friendly.

Thanks!

There are many good ones out there. The key is consistency of cleaning. It is dirt that wears out our seats resulting in those ugly cracks especially in the bolsters. The ones I like and been using for over 20 years is Zaino leather cleaner and their leather in a bottle. Both bring back that leather smell temporarily. I spray lightly the seats because of the perforations and agitate the cleaner with a soft Kiwi shoe polish brush then immediately wipe dry. The conditioner rub on with a slightly damp small sponge and let dry for 20 minutes and then buff off. The cleaner I do about every two months and the conditioner about every six months. Cleaning takes five minutes and conditioning the same.

Theres really no purpose to using a conditioner. The seats are coated, and the conditioner doesnt soak into the leather.

I've been using Swissvax leather cleaner for a while now and like it, when I had my GS with the Flaxen interior I used Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel which worked very well at removing any dye transfer and keeping the leather nice and matte,
