Leather care

... just wish the smell would last longer.

Put some on a sponge and leave it under a seat or dash.

Used Gliptone leather products for ages, just wish the smell would last longer.

They used to do a little hanging air freshner. I keep one on the centre console and pop it away when I use the car. Keeps that gliptone smell in the car

Do you have any experience of using it, gt11/gt12 ?

The cleaner is identical to the original as far as i can tell. Its probably more of a rebrand rather than a formula change.

They do a big one for under your seats.....or the front/rear of Dman666s trousers

Yep similar technique, on with bare hands, leave over night then remove excess with damp cloth

If its a warm day after you put the conditioner / feed on cover your seats in black bin bags and/ or cling wrap as the heat helps the leather absorb the conditioner.

Another vote for Furniture Clinic from me, but to be honest, photos tend to flatter the results in before and after shots.

I can vouch for the furniture clinic products
Tried this on my worn seats and I must say for a beginner I was most impressed with the results - colour dried a bit lighter than I expected, I did try and match with the supplied colour tints.
I used Dodo Juice as a cleaner which is another excellent product, but will probably go to Leather Clinic again once I used the remaining Autoglym leather cream

Gliptone 13.5 is the original style dream and smell I think. I need to order some.

Wow what a result @RSM Masser

Also remember that only the seat face's are leather... the rest is PVC.

3200 is all leather as far as I can see. They reduced the amount of leather in the 4200 probably because it was costing too much. The 3200 is a bit nuts with leather, its everywhere.

AS I understand it these sort of results and not really a product of cleaning products but more because the seats are re-sprayed? Its the paint coating that does all the good work?

That's true however the balance in the 4200/GS is pretty good for practically and long life.

no question, compared to normal cars, pretty much all Maserati's are extremely nice inside. I particularly like the mad colours, given that I have cream and green leather with a green leather dash top and green steering wheel
