Hello,

Am in the middle of my spring clean and am about to use Autoglym leather cleaner and then the care cream. As with other MINI's i've seen with the part-leather seats, the side bolsters on the driver's side are a bit saggy, but the others are all OK. (95% of the time its just me in it).

Will the care cream help the drivers seat stay neat looking or am i just wasting my time?

It does make the inside smell nice though :)

i find it helps a lot, i wouldnt not treat your leather though as itll end up drying out and could flake...

i used autogylms stuff but im exactly the same as yourself, its a bit sagged and im mainly only one thats in it.

You might be better of using polish and cream that is designed by sofa making companys, rather than Autoglym.

I worked in a furniture store last summer, and some of the polish they sold did marvelous stuff (did wonders for touching up damaged sofas that came in.....but we'll speak no more of that:evil::approve:).

Unfortunatly, i can't remeber the name of any stuff:dead:
