Default Anyone cleaned and conditioned their leather?

Took me a lot longer than I expected. The leather work on the S4 is even better (and more extensive) than on my A6. Leather is everywhere...

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone coming from an M3 that can compare the quality and extensive use of leather. I test drove the M3 and IMHO the interior wasn't as nice as the S4. After cleaning it for the first time I am amazed at the quality of leather and the fit & finish Audi has applied. It gives me a new-found appreciation of Audi's interiors.

Default What products did you use?

For about the last 15 years, I've used Protectant 303 on all plastic pieces in my cars. On my old E36 M3 (also with Nappa leather), getting some 303 on the leather adjacent to the plastic didn't matter much so I could be somewhat careless when applying it.

However, on the S4, getting 303 on the black leather is very noticable and so I have to be very careful when I applying it.

Maybe you would benefit from a belt that didn't mark your leather seats?

I use Vinylex on plastic and Lexol on the leather. I've used those products for quite a few years and had good results. I like 303 as well.
