it's higher quality leather than in BMWs, but you still need to treat it regularly and be careful..

not to let it get soaked or anything. try not to be overly harsh to it. it WILL crease, that's the nature of leather, but it shouldn't crack, split and fall apart if its treated properly.

Zaino... not only will it treat/clean/protect it... but it will also smell nice. Some hints in FAQ

Always like the products at "leatherique.com" but will try some Zaino in the future.

haven't tried the audi stuff, some stuff like connoly hide food is special..

but most of it is the same type of stuff if you look at the active ingredients and results. as long as you've got something that softens/smoothens/moistens it well .. my next priority is the smell
