Been going to give the calibra some TLC inside as shes a bit won after 10years.
So i went to halfords to get some autoglym leather cream, problem was they didnt have any. So i ended up going to the darkside and getting some Meguirs leather cream/cleaner/reconditioner thingamijg
Its a really really thick cream that you have to work into the leather, its proper hard work only did one section and TBH it looked no different.
Anyone got any tips/tricks? Or should i go and get the autoglym stuff as ive heard this is the shit!

I think its a case of having to apply it a few times if your leather has seen better days. If you keep applying it every so often you should start to notice a difference.
Dont think its an instant thing

Autogleam stuff isnt that good I didnt think. If the leathers cracked theres not much you can do!!

You just need to spend more time applying it and working it into the leather. Will be a pain to start with but once you get it feeling soft again it probably wont be half as much work to keep on top of it
