Didn't like to ask. Retirement perhaps?

As in the leather care company? I used their stuff when I re-dyed my 944 S2 interior, really nice, and the staff very helpful too.

That's the one. Just used the last of mine this morning.

What website are you ordering that on, it looks like Liquid Leather have the rights to it now.

 

[Navcorr]

The best price I could find the 5L was the Gliptone site.
Was LL always a Gliptone product - don't know.
Nice stuff to use though.

Some confusion if its Gliptone or the brand owners: Liquid Leather are going out of production. I have contacted them and am awaiting clarification. I recon I need 2 gallons to see me to the end of my days

There are loads out there as good if not better.

In this case the leather was particularly dirty so we used a soft leather brush (similar in size and feel to a soft nail brush). Sprayed over the area, gently brushed in circular motion and then buffed with a clean microfiber cloth, then once more just using the cloth and leather cleaner.

Is there a replacement for the actual 'Liquid Leather' that you know of, Phil

Meguiars do one (coconut smell) but not got that leathery scent.

The question is: Does it *smell* as good?

Don't know - found the thread though. With respect to the friends of the OP.

Concept chemicals good stuff too but aimed at trade so 1lt bottles and much cheaper than gliptone...i have both and concept leather care creme smells exactly same as gliptone…

The cleaner is impressive Phil, I, like others am more interested in the GT11 conditioner and dare I say it, the smell. It always reminds me of Le Mans as thats when the car always got its conditioning.

You should also offer that cleaner to victims of spray tan abuse

Cherry Blossom! Alternatively, Bondi Bronze.

Gliptone Leathercare was based in Todmorden in Lancashire.
I visited them just after I bought my Maserati for a colour matched scuff repair kit, which they used my rear centre armrest as a colour sample.
I guess they must have been bought out, as not based there anymore according to their present web site.
I use their conditioner on the Maserati seats which works well, however some leathers are 'sealed' so well that it is believed their conditioner does not work. I actually use a dodo juice leather sealer type product on my BMW seats, that don't smell of leather at all being 'sealed' so well.
