Dont forget that stuff i recommended is just a feed. You also need to clean it before you feed it. I use zymol leather cleaner and this was the state of the rag after 2 passes of the wheel

Get a nice juicy bird inside the 306 give her some double vulcan treatment and watch her gush, that should clean and nourish your leathers, make sure you use a microfibre cloth to polish it in and wipe the excess off. Leaves a nice sheen and aroma

Homo..all I have to say
The reason I need the feed is the leather on the wheels are shite quality and I'm not buying my 4th wheel, so I'm trying to stop the disintegration of the leather
