Leather care for JCW

Hello all,

What are folks using for leather care on the JCW?

I have a GP2 that also has a leather dash.

Cheers!

I use Meguires Gold Class leather conditioner on my car leather. Very happy with it.

My favorites are Optimum leather protectant and pinnacle leather cleaner and conditioner.

Ive recently really moved to Optimum as all of these newer leathers are coated. You really aren’t treating the leather so much as the layer of coating at the surface, so I like that the Optimum product includes uv protection to keep that surface from breaking down.

This and they also make disposable wipes when you dont want to do a full conditioning.

i use CG Monster Fluff Exterior Premium Microfiber Applicator for application of the conditioner and generally doesn't sit in the seat or touch steering wheel for few hours so that it has some time to absord and generally does this every 2 months

Yes Griot's is real good.

Put a cover on that leather dash, it'll be the first thing to go, even with conditioner.
