I'd go over to the Griot's Garage website and check out their Leather Care/Car Care Products, top notch stuff and easy to use!!

I'm sure the MINI stuff is fine, but I'm sure you can get "better" for the same money.

Really any of the good leather cleaners/conditioners are better then using none at all.

+1 to what Bigprfed said.

I sold Harley's for years and if you've ever been in an HD store you've seen all that nice detailing stuff with their name on it.........in all honesty, most of it is crap or wayyyyyyyyyyy over priced (or both). There are many products on the market that will work better and probably cost less.

Company **Branded** items are most likely the bottom of the barrel lowest bidder that was willing to slap mini's logo on their product. This means companies can mark it up to premium prices and people will pay it because they assume "Brand" wax, leather conditioner, etc is amazing because "Brand" made their own detailing products.

This is no more evident then these. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/West-Coa...at234500050029 Albeit it is the same product that Mini/BMW/Audi/GM/All use as "premium OEM product" I will also guarentee that the dealerships doesn't even use their own "product"

www.showcarsupplies.com
www.Detailersdomain.com
www.adamspolishes.com
These guys all sell premium products at or below what you would pay at the dealerships and you will receive a far Superior product and support!

Personally, this stuff is amazing along with all the other fine detailing products adams sells http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-348-a...erior-kit.aspx
