Meguiars Leather Cleaner

Do any of you guys use Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner/Conditioner? I used it on previous Audis with good success. My 2013 M5 Sakhir Orange/Black Merino leather interior can use some work. Also the previous owner smoked. Thanks.

I use Leather Masters products, they are IMO one of the best. If the smoke smell is bad try using an ozone machine inside the car, with the AC running for an hour or so. Repeat as necessary to eliminate. Don't sit in the car with it running, the ozone levels can be toxic. Air out when you are done and enjoy.

Zaino is my preferred leather cleaner and conditioner. Leaves a nice shine but not glossy and non greasy. Also keeps the leather feeling soft and smelling like new.

Thanks for the advice. I saw a 3500mg Air Purifier Ozone Generator on Amazon that looks cheaper than renting one. I will probably pick one up. I can use it in the house for my dog smells as well. Thanks.

ask the dealer they have some strong stuff to deodorize, I pick a 2008 535 in 2010 amd the previous owners hot boxed cigs in the car. the dealer put some stuff in the vents and the car smelled like a urinal cake for about 2 weeks but after it ran it's course no smoke smell at all ever. leather care I use chemical guys, cleaner has hardly any smell and the lotion has no smell at all and no greasy after feel

Thank you. I will check the dealer before I go for the ozone treatment.

Coming from using Meguair's products for the last 20 years i used Chemical Guy's Leather Cleaner and Conditioner and worked so much better! didn't feel greasy at all and actually the leather feels and looks much more healthier after i nice deep clean with the brush followed by the Conditioner
