Hi just wondering what you think is the best way of keeping the leather supple and looking good hopefully preventing future problems.

I have Autoglym leather clean and balm, as per their website clean and treat leather twice a year is sufficient. In hotter countries (which UK is not) apply more frequently, or if you have an accident like I had a few weeks ago with my cat, then treat the area as required.

Down to preference on what product you want to use. Swissvax, Auto Finesse, Autoglym... take your pick :)

Im slowly phasing out my Autoglym set and making switch to Auto Finesse but there some products I will continue to use like car glass polish.

I used Autoglym leather cleaner and Leather Care Cream on my Panther. That was Connelly hide and was totally exposed to the sun with no cracking or fading after 8 years. Treat it every 3 or 4 months and never ever fail to feed it with the cream. It's brilliant stuff.
I still use it on our leather furniture at home. My other half swears by it as well for the same reason.
