Get a few throws for the back mate, £2 in primark  :wink:

Condition the leather (by hand, microfibres will remove protections on the leather) leave to dry over nite and repeat if you want.

where did you hear that microfibres are detrimental to leather?! thats crazy!!

I have seen a few videos with detailing experts on leather and people that make leather conditioners. They all say not to use them as they catch the leather and slowly wear it down.

don't take it all as gospel. With the right use, theres nothing wrong with wiping leather with a microfibre. I can probably bet where you heard that, they were also selling a 'leather cloth'. Lol

So its just the leather conditioner you apply by hand - not the cleaner?

Do you need to really run it in, or just a gentle wipe around?

From my mates store (Elkparts) : GBP 9.28 inc VAT for both cleaner and conditioner. (seems a good deal - and he provides good service)
