I am curious what products everyone has tried on their leather interior. Im interested in something that will really soften and revitalize my seats without making them greasy.
My cars leather is in great shape, but I'm looking for something to really freshen it up.

A lot of what I've read says to avoid anything containing silicone.

Please share your success and which products and process you used!

Thanks!

Made a big difference on my seats, they went from feeling almost like plastic/vinyl to nice soft leather. Added bonus is the seats hold you in place better in the twisties.

Yeah ... this thread by M0nk3y really had me sold on leatherique.

I bought the product and have yet to use it. Just sitting on my garage shelf.

I've been wanting to try this but I think I'm going to have to wait until this coming summer when I can keep the car in the blazing heat all day

Good decision.

Yeah after reading around, I realized the heat is really the key so I'm thinking early July when it's 98* and sunny outside should work nicely haha

I've used Leatherique and Connolly's Hide Food. I think the Hide Food "restored" the leather more, but it did not smell as good and was way more difficult to remove. Both use the same process of apply and wait 24 hours. I think the Hide Food did a better job because it is a cream and I could massage it in to the leather with my bare hands.
