I have never owned a vehicle with leather anything before and recently purchased a Goodwood Mini. If you are familiar with that edition, you know that there is leather everywhere and a few different kinds of it. Seats, Dash, interior door panels, door handles, rear interior side panels and probably more. I don't mind putting some effort into keeping it clean with a good detail every few months, but know that I am not going to treat it every week. Is there any quick wipe or spray that I can do weekly that will clean and protect the leather? I am afraid that the cheap wipes may actually do harm to it. I am also in AZ so I am sure that the heat wont help things out much. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

 

I always recommend these guys:

I've used the whole process in the past to restore an old Jaguar interior to flawless condition and use the cleaner and rejuvinator to this day. It will maintain the leather smell in your vehicle as well.

Thanks for the info. Ive looked into the leathertique before but it looked like a long process. I will have to check the daily cleaner out.

 

Strong recommendation for Leatherique if you plan on keeping it like new forever. Use the full process if you already have sun damage, otherwise it is just a quick wipe with the cleaner and a wipe and buff for the conditioner. This stuff is the real deal, although if you can get a good deal on the Connolly package linked above you probably will be happy as well. Leatherique will bring back ancient leather from the dead, I just used it on a pair of 40 year old Swiss alpine hiking boots that had been in storage since 1984 and they are ready to rock now.

 

We do carry the hide care or leather care from Connolly which has been used for Rolls Royce in the past. We don't have the cleaner right now, but we do have the hide care.

Post up some pics of that Goodwood and if you need anything else for it let me know.

Thanks

 

also check out lexol - i have been using it for years - lots of reviews on amazon.com

 

mallendmd - would love to see some pics of that MINI Goodwood.

 

Lexol is a bit outdated for the newer leathers on these cars. just about every car now has coating on the leather, if you want a good product to clean the leather and condition I would consider

Leatherique

Leather Masters Strong Cleaner and Leather Master Protection Cream

There are others out there as well you can also go with a one step Sonax Leather Foam is a good one.

 

I use leather CPR with good results. Especially good on leather that's dried out and neglected.

 

@phil@detailersdomain - any opinion on this product? -

 

I must order some of that

 

Good stuff.

Hope we can get some MINI Goodwood pics also.

 

Sorry the delivery cost to Oz was a killer. I got the leather care and cleaner from a local supplier for less than just the Leather care. Not your fault at all it's just how it is for us guys here in Oz.

I have plenty of Goodwood photos to share.

 

Its ok, knew you were half way around the world. Did not know if you could get the Connally stuff there or others.

Post up some pics, really like the Goodwood edition.

 

You can find some Goodwood **** here:
