oyster leather

webwysard · 06-06-2011, 08:01 PM

While cleaning the car's interior today I noticed that there was a mark on the drivers seat which looks like the colour of my black jeans which I could have tried and rub it off with a damp cloth but thought to give a proper clean with a recommended stuff. So please advise me what do I need.

Your help is very much appreciated.

Look no further - Gliptone
I have cream leather in my C63.
I don't always need to use the cleaner (sometimes just a wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient) but I condition the leather every time the car is washed. My car still smells like new and the leather doesn't have a mark on it.

Yeah, Gliptone is the best. I have oyster leather too and the squab can pick up a slight "blueness" from jeans. I also have some leather wet-wipes which clean it off no problem.

Sorry guys, didn't realise I hadn't posted a proper link to the car leather section;

Ok, click on the link on the left hand bar to "Buy Car Leather Products"

I use:
"GT12 thick concentrated gentle cleaner" and
"GT11 Conditioner"

IIRC I bought mine from eBay as a pair.
They are designed to be used together.

Very good stuff, highly recommended.

Thanks. Been looking for a something to replace the Mer's stuff i'm currently using.

Cif cream cleaner and a green scourer works really well !!!!

BGM · 06-08-2011, 05:31 AM

ok, so i'm just about to buy some GT11, GT12, and leather cleaning brush, do i need anything else?

couple of microfibre cloths? can't seem to find any guides on how to properly apply this stuff..

CarAbuser · 06-08-2011, 05:42 AM

I've ordered some GT11 and GT12 off eBay so applying the stuff is my next concern also.

BGM · 06-09-2011, 03:54 AM

so yeah, application steps anyone?

wanna order now now now! :O

Instructions are on the bottles; essentially the cleaner is applied with a pad or cloth and subsequently wiped off with a dry cloth / towel, the conditioner is applied (sparingly) into the leather and left.

Tee212 · 06-09-2011, 04:25 AM

Hows the odor on the cleaner/condition of the gliptone? stinky or lovely? lol

xenon · 06-09-2011, 04:34 AM

Preserves and promotes the leather smell really well - but don't overdo it!

Tee212 · 06-09-2011, 04:55 AM

thanks, but just curious what does it smell like? i love the way mine smells right now

btw can i just buy this from your local automotive shops?

do I want something like this? hahah

Doesn't really smell of much on its own. You can get it from some automotive shops in the UK, never looked in the US but I imagine so.

BGM · 06-09-2011, 05:15 AM

think i might actually plump for the Zaino stuff tbh..
