I have never had leather seats before and the Autoglym products I have bought are suggesting treatment twice a year. My car is 2 weeks old so do I wait 6 Months or do it now for extra protection?

Clean it every month should be good enough.

I agree...frequent, quick cleanings have worked better for me than twice a year...

Something between a river and a stream

He meant a creak - ie unwanted noise
