England 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Caspian Blue

Anyone have a recommendation for a good leather cleaner?

Four months of use and the alpaca could do with a spruce up.

The interior beige plastic is easy to clean with a touch of flash but I don't want to risk that on the leather. TD4 HSE Auto Caspian Blue

I hear Liquid Leather from Gliptone is very good. There's plenty of recommendations though I've yet to try myself.

Rolling with laughter Thumbs Up

I took my FL2 to a local wash with a brush and pressure wash, put a £1 and get 4 minutes, but i always took my time and put £3 or £4 in

Still i noticed the brushes plastic frame had scratch the body work, either that or the grit they held from the last bloke who washed his car, Sad

I came to the thinking last thing you wash is the wheel, first thing next person washes is the body work with a grit covered brush Wink

If you use it still, even with the hose pipe on , i would suggest a large bucket of water to dunk and rinse the brush a few time through the wash Thumbs Up (that's my 2pence worth)

Even though i am a Grey person, I do think black cars look great just washed glossy look, shame it goes 2 yards down the road Laughing Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
