Leather
Like your own skin, the best way to look after leather is to clean it first then condition it. We have products that clean and condition in one step, and they save time, but doing it in separate steps is much better. Leather absorbs all the oils and dirt from your hands and sitting in the car, and sunscreen (man that's annoying). Clean first with Leather cleaner and a soft horse hair brush. Then Condition it separately ones cleaned with leather conditioner.
