Caring for Fine Nappa Leather
 
I have a 2016 SQ5 with the Nappa leather interior. For more years than I care to admit, I been using Connolly Hide Care for leather care in my vehicles with good results, but I'm not happy with the results I'm having with the Nappa leather in the SQ5. What products work best with the Nappa leather?

Don't laugh, it's easy to use, super cheap, and makes my leather look great. Apply by wiping on liberally, let sit, then buff out with clean microfiber to matte finish. BTW I hate residue or shiny leather. Matte or BUST.

I haven't used it on the Fine Nappa Leather specifically, but I really like the Zaino Z9 (cleaner) and Z10 (conditioner) products. They don't leave any greasy/shiny residue, smell great, and are easy to use.

Everyone has their favorites...

… I love Connolly Hide Food (from England), but its Lanolin base (rendered sheep fat) gives it a limited shelf life. I used it for twenty years before discovering the Griots Products.

I use two Griot's products: Leather Care and Leather Care Spray… they will not disrupt the anoline dyes used in the seats.

Never disappointed :-)

BTW, Griot's Leather Interior spray scent is so good - I use it in my office. (I spray it on my wife when she's asleep) - just kidding (she's wide awake)

happy massaging…

It has no snob appeal but Lexol products have been the mainstay among equestrians for decades. Fine saddle leather (and belting leather, etc.) love the stuff.

Indeed - I use quite a bit of Lexol...

… (both the leather and the vinyl spray) indoors on furniture, etc. Lexol is great on shoes, belts. We have lots of leather furniture, so I buy the big refills.

Leatherique
 
Fan of Leatherique. Partcularly "Leather Rejunenator", gives leather a really premium feel, brings older or damaged leather back to life.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll review all of them and make a decision.

Another Vote for Lexol.

I have usex Lexol to clean/condition my leather in the Q5.
Easy to use and it has gotten some stains out pretty easily.
