leather care Q (youtube inside)
so i was looking for a video to show me just how i'm suppose to clean and condition my leather seats. i've noticed a lot of instructions say to thoroughly work into the leather, well that could mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. i was sweating my ass off the first time i did it and it seems (at least according to the videos i found youtube) that maybe i was working it a little harder than necessary.
basically i wanna know which video most accurately shows the way it should be done, at least according to the pros here in this forum
first 2 are kind of the same deal

nice post--
have to say that i dont really see what you are concerned about- both first two videos use pretty much the procedure that i use...
vacuum, clean then protect.
the cleaning is where you might need some elbow grease if the leather is dirty. if not so dirty, its a quick rub down before the preserving.
the preserving step is pretty much just rub the product into the leather- let it sit a bit then buff.
agree that the last one is very into the job. i love "feeling" the car. have to admit that i have not done this with leather, but i do it with waxes on the paint all the time.
