Tuscan Leather Care???

I should be getting my new ’08 Clubman S in a couple of weeks, go Turandot. When I saw a MCS that was PW/BK with Tuscan leather I knew that was what I had to go for. 7 week after I placed the order I still love my color choices but I am starting to get paranoid about how to keep such light colored leather in top shape. This forum has been amazing for info on paint and wheel care and introduced me to a world of clay, polish and microfiber I never knew existed. The lounge leather has volumes written on its care but the Tuscan only returned 2 threads on a search and they were not that helpful. Is the Tuscan leather nubuck? Does anyone have experience with Prima Nourish or Leatherique?

Prima Nourish is good, but in your case I would go with Leatherique. It has both a cleaner and a conditioner with the system and with the light color, you're definitely going to want to clean once in awhile!

i would use Griot's LeatherCare Spray on new seats. use it as a QD
until you start seeing some minor wear. then try some of those thicker
nurishments.

leathercare spray has been fantastic on my G's leather. my car still
looks brand new (almost 4yrs old).

Anyone use Lexol? I've been using if for about 20 years on my cars.. my father turned me on to it about 25 years ago. I swear by it. It was originally created to keep horse saddles (made of leather) in nice condition and from cracking.
