Leather upholstery wax - Dude - {P}
Can anybody recommend a decent wax upholstery polish for black leather? - I have been using Auto-Glym leather care wax, and am not impressed as it leaves a dull grey finish instead of highlighting the black.
Any suggestions would be appreciated

You need to find a tack shop or sadlers who will stock neutral wax. You'll also need to get some cleaner to take the Auto Glym stuff off the leather before you put the proper stuff on.

For furniture type leather I use Phoenix Leathercare which was recommended to me by a leather repair technician.
He did emphasis that a cleaner must be used before applying anything.
After cleaning a leather cream is used to feed the leather.
All this information is on their web site which I bought from.

IIRC there was quite a big discussion on this a while ago. May be worth a search.

I picked up some stuff at an exhibition early this year called Urad. It's terrific - self-shining and feeds the leather too. Needs to be applied VERY sparingly.

I've used it to good effect on leather car seats, shoes and upholstery. Originates in Italy I think, and they do know about leather there!

Anyway, have a look at
www.urad.org for details. UK contact seems to be in Bury St Edmunds.
