BMW Leather Cleaner - UV Protector

wdlv · 07-15-2020, 02:13 PM

Hello Members,

I've used several leather cleaners over the years but have only recently used the BMW Leather Lotion. I definitely like how it applies, is non-greasy (matte) and has a pleasant smell that quickly vanishes.

For the reasons above I like the BMW product, however, while using it, I was reminded of sun tan lotion/milk from my youth. The consistency is thick but a bit runny and a milky white (transparent after applied). I grew up in Europe and it made me think of Nivea sun milk with a low UV rating or brands like Piz Buin, Delial or similar.

Mind you, I would never put suntan lotion on the interior leather but I was immediately reminded of it as I used the BMW Leather Lotion.

I was looking at the Griots 3-in-1 Leather cleaner as it comes in a 128 oz size and would be more cost effective.

Do you have any alternatives, looking forward to your responses. I have the Vernasca Leather option in Cognac for reference.

I have CarPro ceramic coating on my Tartufo leather.

In my other cars I use Adam’s leather conditioner that also is non-greasy, easy to apply and contains some SPF to reduce fading of the leather.

What do you do for maintenance with your ceramic? Can you use Adam's every few months or just leave ceramic bare?

I used many and I think the best one out there is ZAINO.
