I have this beautiful A6 4.2 Quatro in Ming Blue with Vanilla leather. How should I best care for the leather? Florida sun is hard on any car but I want to protect and preserve the leather. Audi suggest water! Any advice?

I use Lexol PH balanced cleaner followed by Zymol conditioner.

I have vanilla leather too in my '01. With over 26K on the car, the seats still look pretty close to new. Zaino makes both a cleaner and conditioner. I rub the spray-on cleaner in with a soft brush, then wipe it off with paper towels. And the seat is CLEAN! The conditoner brings down the gloss and smells great too. Takes about two minutes.

Go to the Detailing forum. The experts are all over there.

very clean - and not greasy

and the tints are a must in FL!

unlike most other products which put a nasty shiny, slick, wet-look to the leather. Plus, it has a very clean smell which fades to the original leather smell. You will have a "new car" smell for a very long time...but without it smelling fake like "new car smell" products.

After 22 months and 30,000 miles, the leather in my 4.2 is mint...virtually indistinguishable from new.

That's becuase you cover your butt with blue tape before you drive it each time ;-)
