Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a C4-S with the full leather interior. Of those with a full leather interior how and how often do you clean it? With a "normal" dash in past cars a damp cloth was just fine. But I fear doing the same on leather would make it dry and/or crack prematurely. With leather seats I only cleaned/conditioned them every 2 or 3 months or as needed but it seems like it would be impractical to do the same for the more intricate leather interior. Thoughts?

POST 2Original post

Lexol products work fine, but don't overdo it. You can use warm soapy water and a soft cotton cloth to clean spots if needed. I use Lexol Leather Cleaner and Lexol Conditioner no more than twice a year. It will cause buildup if you use it too much. But give it a try and see how it goes.

POST 3Original post

I slightly prefer the Zymol spray leather cleaner, and the cream Connolly hide food sold by British car dealers/suppliers. The Connolly conditioner definitely penetrates better, and as such must not be left on an excessive time nor applied too frequently.

POST 4Original post

The parts guy at the local dealership seems very knowledgeable and highly recommended einszett leather care products. Apparently they're a german company that specializes in developing products for german cars, porsche being one of them. Seems to works pretty well, doesn't make the leather greasy or shiny. (no affiliation with them)

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes the key is to have it clean and "supple" without being shiny. Thanks for the input.
