Neatsfoot oil is a cheap option , the horse fratenity use it on their horse tackle. Gliptone is another , leaves a lovely smell

I bought some from halfords. They had several types on the shelf. I use it every couple of months or so, Usually when the beige leather starts to look dirty. If they were black, I probably wouldn't do tham as often though.

BTW, it would take a braver man than me to rub anything into a horses tackle. :lol:

Neatsfoot oil is a waterproofer, so not the best for leather that has to breathe. Lots of products to recommend, but I have had good results with a well known swedish hand cream. If it's good enough for hands and highly rated stands to reason it will work on leather.
P.S apply in cool conditions and leave to soak overnight before buffing up.

i just use a leather cleaner and conditioner from halfords think its a carplan make can't remember of the top of my head, leaves a nice smell, makes the leather a little slippy for a few days tho.

I use Auto Glym leather cream bought off e bay - only about £6 a bottle and will last a while. Used it twice so far and i like it, goes on well you rub the cream in the seats and then buff up

Leather Seats
 

I have leather seats in mine and can recommend Mer leather care cream and Simoniz leather cleaner/conditioner you won't go far wrong there.

I use the Gliptone cleaner and conditioner. Great smell once applied. Fairly reasonably priced on fleabay too...

Gliptone is my favourite. Go to the website and get their phone number and deal direct. They sell 5 litre plastic containers of both cleaner and conditioner and they're way cheaper than the small bottles.

I used to be in contact with a guy who worked with leather for a living (and did some great work on custom seat re-trims etc in his spare time), and he always recommended Gliptone liquid leather. I tried it on his advice and can't fault it. The cleaner can take some work but the results can be great, and the conditioner as others have said smells great too.
