Re: leather seats...

[Chuck Simpson <csimpson@zeltech.com>]

I'm not sure how Kiwi is.  All I know is that the Eagle-One brand has a separate
cleaner and separate conditioner that really works well for all leather and
vinyl.
I used the cleaner on the leather, steering wheel, shift-boot, and parking brake
boot - and it does a really good job cleaning dirt and scuffs that have appeared
over time.  The conditioner is really cool and they actually require you to apply

the product with your bare hands.  This is because towels absorb too much of the
conditioner and end up wasting the product over time.  You just rub the stuff
in as if it was a lotion.

Even though your car is fairly new, I would recommend cleaning and conditioning
to keep it looking new.  My car is a '98 and I think the leather looks way better

now than it did when I took it off the lot several months ago.

Even though my seats are still quite firm, they now feel much softer to the touch

after the conditioning.  There is a slight shine to it as well that I really
like.

I bought the Eagle-One cleaner and conditioner at K-Mart right next to the
Kiwi products.
