Theres plenty on here who use it, but incase you havent heard of it before, its all about Gliptone from www.liquidleather.com

GT12 cleaner and GT11 conditioner both for about £15 have lasted me a long time.

Now the photos are via the phone, so not the best, and the seats were in very decent condition beforehand, but theres still a noticable difference

Gonna be trying this on a spare set of seats I just picked up.. Used it on the seats in the car a while back. What a difference it made!

cant see why not, tho ive never scubbed it hard the g12 that is.

tho it cleans of dirt 1st, then the conditioner must put some moisture back.


Have always used the G12 then GT11 with great results

nope, nail brush bristles seem a bit too hard for soft leather, might be ok, but on 20+ year old for leather, im not risking it.


ive got a small soft brush, think it came with a turtle wax cristmas kit many years ago, but the brush britsles are soft like that on a dustpan brush, if you know what i mean?

Oh and also on the thinner bits, side bolsters etc, ive just used a rough old T-towel
