2012HoustonA5

I just purchased a 2012 A5 this week and wanted suggestions on what conditioner is best to use on black Audi leather.

Also, what wax and cleaners would you recommend to keep it looking good over the years? It is a Phantom Black exterior with a black interior.

Thank you in advance!

Check out detailersdomain.com. The guy who own & run that site is Phil. He also one of the best detailer in NJ area. He's very helpful so just send him and email and he will get back with all the stuffs you need.

Leather master, Swissvax and P21S are pretty all you may need IMO.

Here's what I've used, with great results:

Leather: Lexol Leather Conditioner - has a nice saddle soap aroma to it
Non-leather: Meguire's Interior Detailer
Wax: Meguire's Ultimate Paste Wax - very rich, easy to work with

I use other products for other details, but these are the main ones.

Good luck!

Do not use any wax that says "cleaner" as that means it contains a mild abrasive. Use only pure wax, at least until the car get into old-age.

Leathermaster is the Audi OEM leather cleaner/conditioner. Griot's Garage also has an excellent product. But my current favorite is Zaino on my own black leather.

Meguiar's Nxt Tech 2.0 is very easy to apply to the exterior and I thereafter use Griot's Speed Shine or Zaino enhancement detailing spray.

Thank you all for your help. At no cost, the dealer threw in many swirls and scratches so I am looking forward to buffing them out and also not adding more myself. Again, thank you for the helpful information!

Wolfgang Swirl Remover Kit (includes swirl removal and pure polish) and finish with Wolfgang fuzion. You will thank me. I have use SO many products over the years and these are as good or better than all of them. I put this together the other night after I used these on my DD.

Zaino for the paint, Leather Master (amazon, not leather masters.com, a bondage site) for the leather, Vinylex for non leather plastic stuff, no amorall.

Lots of good recommendations here but you know that Blank isn’t a color right? It’s a second job!
