Look at LTT. Far superior compared to the likes of Glipitone but more expensive too.

The best leather is kept for audis so VW leather is pretty crap.  I know one forumite had more wear in his leather seats after 20k than on his bmw at 50k.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I used to use Gliptone, it's good. But now i use Raceglaze Leather Balm and it's even better.

Who sells this? My Recaros are in pretty good nick for their age but I'm keen to keep them looking that way and i dont mind spending a few bob to do so - the leather in some of the cars I've looked at lately was shocking!
Only 250.1bhp - but with that noise, who cares?
