    What type of leather treatment for Audi

    Have a customer that wants me to maintain an audi while husband is gone. She says it has german leather interior and that another detailer used something that her husband didn`t like (to glossy, greasy, slick) She said that the german leather required something special...What could she be talking about?

    Bah. Nonsense...Go with some Pinnacle or Lexol. They both make a cleaner and conditioner....I dont think you will have a problem, the previous application was probably never wiped off after it was applied......
    When it`s you car, every detail matters...........

    PB Natural Look will dry to the touch, not be shiny and leave the leather soft and with UV protection. 4-Stars Platinum Leather Cleaner and Conditioner are also favorites. The smell of the 4-Star leather products is enough to make me want to use them. The conditioner smells like glove leather.

    What NattyBumppo said,
    After trying many leather products 4* cleaner and conditioner is my #1 choice

    :yeah

    IMO -- Connolly Hide Food is better & Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil is even better. All of these are kinda costly, but I think well worth it.

    I`ve been using Lexol on my Audi with good results, I apply with a terry pad, then buff it thoroughly with another, no uneven appearance, high gloss or stickiness applying it this way
    Treat it like it`s the only one in the world.

    I`m with Natty on this one the 4 Star Platinum is the one that I like the best. I use it all the time on my BMW. The reason that this customer might have experenced a oily shinny seats. Most all car leather today is clear coated after diying. The product that they used just set up on top of the seats.

    Lexol is a good product but seems to be a bit oily to the finish

    :yeah Make sure you thoroughly buff whatever dressing you choose to use. My preference is PB Natural Look, though I use Lexol Conditioner on steering wheels for a more tacky feel.

    OK OK I guess 330 puts it right not oily but tacky feeling, my choice of words is not always on the spot!!

    I do buff as much as possible with Lexol but I`ve never felt that about 4 Star
