He recommended their product G101 for the leather and it certainly does the trick, but it is a universal cleaner and not really reccomended by Autosmart to be regularly used on leather.

It's best used on warm days or with heat from a hair drier to soften the leather.

I use the Zymol leather cleaner and conditioning cream.

Spray the Highstyle on a cold engine, wipe, and it looks like you spent days polishing and cleaning under the bonnet.

I think AutoExpress did a leather conditioner test (check out there product reviews on-line) and the Mer leather product came out on top, beating AutoGlymn, etc.

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.

But to answer your question, still not found a leather feeder I'd necessarily recommend.
Everyone I've spoken to recommend the usual cremes, Autoglym consistently coming out as a top recommendation. I've been hunting for ages to find something that takes the shine off my Metropole Blue leather. Even tried the Swissol stuff that is sold to do exactly that - but I still have a horrible shine.

which are mainly for the trade. You dont often see them in the shops. He recommended their product G101 for the leather and it certainly does the trick, but it is a universal cleaner and not really reccomended by Autosmart to be regularly used on leather. I tried their leather cleaner but still get the shine back. Incidentally, their Cherry Glaze (polish) and Highstyle (plastic and rubber dressing) are both superb. Spray the Highstyle on a cold engine, wipe, and it looks like you spent days polishing and cleaning under the bonnet.

I use Zaino Z-9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner and Z-10 Leather in a Bottle Conditioner. Great stuff, and smells fantastic. I get it from the US (
www.zainostore.com
) as it is less than half the price of their UK agent, but Zaino won't ship direct.
Why not use the official Porsche Tequipment product?. I do. Note that it takes a long time to soak in so best to do it when you're not going to use the car for a while (a while can be four or five days!).
I sat in mine with a pen in my back pocket a couple years back and put a puncture in the seat base cushion. Got it reupholstered in the proper Porsche leather by Southbound. It matches the unworn leather, eg of the dashboard and back seats, but someone in the past has treated the front seats with something that's made them shiny so it still looks slightly off . Still hoping that will gradually look better as gets worn in and with some more polishes with Autoglym
I use the Zymol leather cleaner and conditioning cream. Works great. It's not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for IMHO. It's best used on warm days or with heat from a hair drier to soften the leather.
Also use shoe polish (particulalry the sponge on water based ones) on some areas where scuffing occurs (seat edges/piping, door pillars, etc). But not areas where cloths tend to rub, as the colour can leech onto clothes.
Recently tried Swissol coloured cleaner/conditioner, but not convinced yet.
