Edition 30 steering wheel & leather seat trim.

Best product to use on the steering wheel to keep the nice mat black finish & keep the part leather seats in top condition.  :happy2:

If you have a look through the detailing threads for "leather", you'll find the answers.

Basically, the ED30 leather is coated with plastic so leather cleaners and conditioners are a waste of time. Use dilute all-purpose cleaner and use a brush to ensure any ingrained dirt is shifted. JPC has written some more detailed posts about this.

Any "dressings" will sit on top of the plastic layer and provide no benefit.

ive been using this for a while now on my "leather" and interior plastics apart from the steering wheel, it just gets a wipe down with diluted APC. Works great, doesnt leave a horrible tacky shine.  :happy2:

Gene Hunt:

Correct, unless you wear leather trousers? cause it will just rub off onto your clothing  :grin: . The above Prot is good stuff. The leather balm from AG if i am right is designed to be absorbed into the leather and nourish it, the plastic part of our cars leather wont allow this to happen, therefore it will just sill on the surface.
A good wipe down with an APC, Meguiars for example also leave a clean, matt finish.
