I`ve been reading here about the differant cleaner and conditioners for leather, but haven`t seen if any of them help preserve that great new leather smell. Let alone that might reserect the smell. Thanks for any input, this forum is great!

#1 rule with leather is to keep it clean. Every time you wash your car, take a damp microfiber towel and wipe down your interior. When you dress the leather, if you want to keep the factory leather smell, use something like Leather Master`s Leather Vital which has very little scent of its own that dissipates quickly.

Yep :xyxthumbs I feel *VERY* strongly about this one and I simply hate it when car interiors have the "leather shop smell" that others often like. In most cases I insist that my vehicles smell like they did when new, and even my cars from the `80s still do.
The LM stuff works well in this regard, and so does the Sonus brand leather treatment.
And yeah, just keeping things clean makes a bigger difference than most folks would imagine. My *dog-haulers* still smell new, and that`s pretty incredible considering how they`re used.

Prima Nourish is leather scented. Not like a phony air freshener smell either, very realistic. plus the finish and protection it leaves is nice too.

Leatherique Rej.Oil/Prist Clean; AFTER the application is done and they`ve air-dried has a really nice smell overall.
I`ve just used the CG "Leather" scent a few times now and it has a nice smell once it`s initially dissipated; but it doesn`t last all that long; maybe 5 days.

Leatherique is strong as hell to me. I just used Adams leather conditioner and it had the perfect amount of intensity-like a new leather coat.

I just posted it another thread, but I`ll say it again. Spinneybeck. They should know, they manufacture leather.

Just looked at their webpage. I will have to inquire about their products.
They may make leather, but they still have to buy their chemicals from somewhere else.;)

I always thought cows "manufactured" leather?

Sorry to bump an old thread, came up in a search. Regarding spinneybeck...

Very clear in the product number of the cleaners ;) Dead giveaway, haha.
