    Hey guys, my newest car came from a previous owner who was (sooo fortunately) VERY meticulous. Never been through an automatic car wash or anything. Anyway, that`s all irrelevant.



    The car has Recaro leather seats. I don`t know a LOT about leather care, but I know Leather Masters and Leatherique seem to be most recommended. Some people say not to use Leatherique on coated modern seats. I don`t know much about what kind of leather is used on Recaro seats. What seems like the best choice? The car has 50k miles, no signs of WEAR on the leather at all, but the front seats are a little "stiffer" than the leather in the back seats.



    Advice?

    I would recommend Leather Masters, but the thing those seats need most is a through cleaning. See the shine? That`s dirt and oil trapped in there, the seats should look like brand new leather, very matte.

    I`ll do that first thing then. Should I wait to get Leather Masters cleaner, or do you recommended getting to it first with something else? I know there is a lot of debate over Woolite dilutions.

    I wouldn`t get the cleaner, I just use the Zymol OTC Leather cleaner and it works fine for cheaper. Not much dirt on the seats anyways. There`s a lot of debate about conditioning the seats too, so get that if you think it`s necessary, and then follow up with the protection cream.



    TBH, cleaning should help with the stiffness.

    Leatherique....



    As far as "modern leather being coated"



    Coated with what? a clear coat designed for leather?



    if you have doubt call Leatherique their great people, very helpful...

    20:1 with the new HE version of Woolite. Follow with Leather Master`s Leather Vital. I`ve been using this combination a few years now and it works very well.
