Only bought this W211 E55 on Saturday and I've started refreshing bits already and this afternoon I made a start on the leather using the well recommended Gliptone products.

Do the cleaner and conditioner not keep getting "stuck" in the perforated holes?

Is it colour specific?

Yes and no, I use a microfibre cloth to apply the conditioner and simply press on the leather when it's in the hopes and this rids it.

The cleaner is a gel applied with a pad so that doesn't seem to get stuck.

Tony.

No Tony, the cleaner is a clear gel and the condition a whitish cream.

Are you sure that's conditioner .

I prefer engine cleaner on leather.

Brings it up like new, nice and matte.

Mix it 10:1 and scrub hard, you will be amazed.
Then use Gliptone over the top if you want.

 

[Alps]

Used gliptone on all my cars, perforated, heated, etc, no probs, small nail brush for the light leathers with ingrained dirt

That's interesting, But how long does it smell engine cleaner ish for?
