Title: Leather cleaning/maintenance
Post by: gypsy56@bellsouth.net on April 04, 2024, 10:23:27 PM
I have my Dads 59 CoupeDeVille, all in great shape. The interior is clothe/leather combo.

Leather is in great shape with I guess normal aging with some small creases no tears.

What is the best cleaner, restorer/conditioner?? Thanks in advance. Bill

I am a believer in 'less is more' on this topic.

 For example.... English car owners are indoctrinated to 'feeding'  their leather and treating it,  ect ect.

But if you look at many vintage English leather interiors ...they are cracked up like an aerial map of the Grand Canyon.

Leatherique has worked well and a small bottle goes a long way.  You need to clean/prep the leather then add the treatment oil.  I'm telling you it took what felt like rice paper and made it feel like cadillac leather again.

Does it stay only in the leather, or bleed over into the adjoining fabric?
