Excellent. Thank you. That’s the same stuff in wipe form IIRC. Looks like that’s at least the “official” solution if nothing else.

I’ve not owned actual dead cow leather before in a car, so panicking slightly!

It's actually really easy to take care of ... the leather is much harder wearing than you would believe when looking / feeling it & it's designed to both easy to look after and be robust.

I posted a couple of links to some YouTube videos from detailers that talk about what to use and how to care for the leather on a different discussion thread, I'll dig them out and (re)post here when I get a chance.

Found the videos I posted ... there are heaps on Youtube that are published by detailers with varying levels of OCD / detailer-geekishness and "personalities" ... however much of the messaging is that there are various products out there which are good, but there are also a lot that are "over hyped" and that for regular, 2-weekly maintenance cleaning, you can keep it pretty simple.

However, if you're doing a quarterly cleans, then consider some product and some protection/ care-product from one of the "professional brands" (Modesta, Dr Beazely's etc).

FWIW I have spent / wasted many happy hours watching Json from Chicago Auto Pros (https://www.youtube.com/user/ChicagoAutoPros) do product reviews, give tips, do paint inspections or just detail cars
