I just ordered my second bottle of the Autoglym Leather Care Cream as well as the Autoglym Leather Cleaner from the following site. They had the best prices and I received the items in a couple of days. When you click on Leather Care Cream from the main list it takes you to another page where it shows a picture of the Leather Cleaner bottle, but don't worry the item number is correct and they did send me the correct item. It's just the picture that is wrong.

Does leave a white haze on some leather interiors (manly BMW in my experience). It will show after a few hours and requiers the leather to be cleaned and dressed again (with diffrent products ofcourse). I stopped using it and I will not recommend it to my customers.

Is that a review of Autoglym? I used it on three different BMW's with Gray Nappa, Gray Dakota, and Auburn Dakota leather and did not have any type of haze at all.

[/quote]Yes, the Leather Cleaner is 4 cents cheaper but the Leather Care Cream is $3 more ($12.95) at Autopia. I paid $9.99 each for the Autoglym Leather Cleaner and the Autoglym Leather Care Cream at the link that I posted above (www.detailsupplydepot.com). The list price is supposedly $14 and $16 each but the "warehouse price" is $9.99 each. They charged me $5.95 for shipping.

Griots Interior Cleaner works great as well. A friend demo'd it for me on my z4 and it took the shine right off the steering wheel and restored it to its original look, matte.

Well, I just tried it yesterday, and I think I like it.
It's true that the cream will leave a white film, but you can prevent it by buffing the cream evenly. Don't over apply the cream and let it saturate!. After letting the cream dry, buff it again and the white haze should come off easily. I only did the driver's seat and it looks very nice.
I also applied on the steering wheel, but it took away the grippy feel which I like. Now it feels creamy. I will clean it out later.

I use the the autoglym leather cleaner but i have stopped using the leather care cream. The leather cleaner is very good and reccomended.
I dont use the leather care cream because i used it on my previous car (BMW 840Ci) and i noticed that over time it will darken the leather. Orginally the leather was light silver-grey but now its much darker.
I took the car into a leather specialist and they said use a leather care cream which has a Ph of neutral.
