Did you mean Swissvax "Leather care" either the "kit" or the "kit forte"? Personally, I use either Zaino or Leather Masters leather care products.

Armoral Leather wipes... inexpensive and take the dirt right off the seat. I have used them on every car I have owned and have never had an issue with there ability to clean and protect. Also they are effortless to use. Also they work very well on Home leather couches chairs etc...

Can I ask a question, scottiekay. What type of leather do you have in your car? I have merino leather all over in my M5 and unlike synthetic leather or polyurethane sealed leather (i.e. coated leather) which the merino leather is not, Armourall products are not suitable and can actually damage the uncoated leather as the Armourall products get soaked into the unsealed leather.

I don't have the merino leather, but in my former car C63 AMG it had the premium leather and there was no issues with using it on that I wiped the seats once a week, same as I do with my M5 and there is no wear from wiping. My 06 Corvette well lets just say the leather was not that nice but it cleaned and protected well with that. My Wifes car is a 2012 M3 and it has upgraded leather and there is no residue left over from using the product.

Regardless its a matter of choice. I have used other leather cleaners but honestly some require a lot of effort to put on and take off. Ive use mothers spray on leather cleaner and it seems to stain seats in areas especially if you just spray it on the seat rather then into a rag then applying.

I agree with you, Merino leather requires special care. I use Connolly leather cleaner and protectant in two steps with easy and very good results. Remember BMW Ag owns RR brand so they know where to get nice hides.
