Leather seat 'feel'

[Cooper]

Hi,

What are 'as new' leather seats supposed to feel like in a Zed? Is the leather soft and pliable or somewhat tight and stiff? Please note I am not talking about the padding under the leather but the actual leather itself.

I have nothing to compare mine to. They are visually in pretty good condition but the leather is 'hardish' and not pliable. I suspect they have been neglected so I have been applying McGiuires?? cleaner and conditioner on them and leaving it for some time then buffing off by hand. This has made them a bit more flexible but I am not sure it is possible to achieve pliable leather, or that is what they should feel like. If they should be soft and pliable I would be grateful for a product recommendation that can soften it. Thanks.

New car seats are generally not that supple unless it is really very, very expensive leather. The Connollised finish is a coating and will prevent the moisturiser really getting into the leather until they have started to grain and stretch a little.

Use will be the best thing they can have at present. Moisturise after a couple of years.
