Anyone have a simple recommendation for leather care products ?

There are more than a few available with a large variation in cost. Not knowing the important ingredients to look for or what matters in application to get the best results is elusive using Google search.

Leatherique seems to have the biggest following. But I haven't been particularly impressed. The problem is BMW leather has a lacquer finish which is not particularly penetrable, so most of the conditioner just sits on the surface and even what does penetrate leaves you with hard lacquer on the surface. I do think the thinner the better though, so I'd avoid the ones in a can.

Thank you.

I probably should have said for my wrinkled old butt, however without the lacquer finish I'll go with the thin stuff and hope.

It probably didn't work properly for you because you are supposed to sand the top tayer off(gently I might add). That way it can penetrate the leather and then the stuff hardens and re-seals the leather.

I believe that's for a redye, not just conditioning.

Try Mink Oil, buy it in Amazon

I used a leatherique kit for a set of seats that felt like cardboard. It had a "rejuvenator" oil that I applied, covered with garbage bags, and left for a couple of days to help it soak into the leather. Then came back with a second product that I don't remember the name. It worked well, but don't expect miracles.

For regular maintenance, I use Lexol or the Griot's leather stuff. I can't say that one works better than the other. But my wife uses both on her boots and she thinks the Lexol does a better job keeping the leather soft.

Enjo have a leather conditioner, which I have used, has made old worn leather look like new again.

I've now used it on a Breur chair 1928 and
rear seats for my e12 (blue)
