Refresh the leather smell?
Hi guys, what interior detailer do you guys use to make the inside shiny?
And what's the best thing to use to imitate the leather smell or to refresh the leather smell in your car?

I like Tanners Preserve leather conditioning cream for the upholstery and it does have a leather smell to it. For the interior (dash, etc.) Aerospace 303 is GREAT stuff, it leaves a satin shine and protects against UV. Do not use Armorall.

I've been using Eagle One Leather Conditioner on mine, but haven't been able to find any more. May give the Zaino product a try.

I think this is OK because none of the Forum Vendors sell it

Go to a Yankee Candle store and get their Leather Car Freshener air freshener. I use them all the time and it smells just like new leather. I hate hanging those things so I just put it in my cupholder, (Aftermarket of course) since the stock one doesn't hold anything!

Gliptone
Years ago I bought this conditioner from Mid-America and loved it! The best leather smell ever. They quit selling it so I got on line and they sold it to me direct. Due to the fact we can't offer a link, the company is Gliptone. I always apply it with my bare hand. I found that you can work it into the leather better than with a cloth. I always put it on prior to a show on Friday nite and close up the car. When it is being judged I've had judges tell me that the smell really helped.
