Has anyone tried Audi's leather Care kit?
I just closed the deal on a set of RS6 Seats (C5), and I want to get the best product to keep them in great condition. I've read about Spinneybeck now, as well as Lexol, etc., but has anyone tried Audi's?
Here's the link:

skip lexol and audi's kit
I like the leathermaster strong that Phil sells (for cleaning the leather). Either the leathermaster vital or spinneybeck should do well as a conditioner. Spinneybeck markets itself as a cleaner and conditioner, which I think is a compromise. If your leather is pretty clean already, it's probably fine. If it needs any sort of cleaning, do that with a dedicated product first. I can't quite see a difference between them as a conditioner, as they are both non-oily and leave a clean matte finish on the leather. I also like Zaino's Leather in a Bottle. That also leaves a matte finish, but unlike the other two it's a bit slippery (not greasy, just leaves a low friction surface like when you wax your paint). I've used that longer than the other two (which I ordered recently) and found that it does a nice job preventing the leather from getting too dirty as well.

I wouldn't.
It's not going to harm the leather, but it gives the leather a slippery/greasy feel that I hate. Zaino is a little like that, but not greasy, and the others are not at all like that.
