The Chemical Guys Bare Bones product for me, seems to be not as slimy and smells a little bit better, dries really nice, and seems to last longer than the other 2 I speak of above.
I end up after as good a cleaning of the wheel well areas as I can do, using Chemical Guys Bare Bones product the most.
For BMW leather, I always use Spinneybeck Leather Conditioner, and have found people who have used this longer than I for years, and swear by it.
This product does not impart any leather "smell" to the hides, but instead, if the leather is cleaned properly, allows the natural smell of the treated hide co come out. From research on the company I have found that this product is what they use to treat the hides that come right out of their tannery, before they are sold to the Automakers, fine furniture makers, etc..
Now, if I have a Client that wants to have the Leather treated properly and leave a leather "smell", I always use Zaino Leather Conditioner, which accomplishes both these requirements easily.
Other Leather Conditioners made for some European vehicles tend to smell like some sort of petroleum product or something - Connolly Hide Food, Einzett Leather Conditioner, Auto Glym, etc...That is not to say that these products are bad, but they definitely have a unique smell that is unlike what i personally perceive a leather hide should smell like..
Good luck with your research !
