Hi, I'm new to this site and a new Mazda 3 owner with leather interior and I was wondering if anybody could give me any tips on the preservation of the leather ie, Armour All etc. and I was also considering Dubbin or saddle soap?

Thanks but no I already had the Mazda inside treatment but I was just looking to keep the suppleness and softness of the leather and and help in preventing drying and eventual cracking of the leather in years to come. Not only that but I live in Calgary.

Thanks kevcol74 Googled connolly and found it through Auto Geek. I ordered jars of the hide care $49 ea plus $17 for shipping to Alberta but hey if it works then it's worth it.

My bro in law introduced me to this stuff down in Michigan... it was amazing, turned his leather plush soft in his 94 Olds Cutlass Convertible years ago.... Used to be called Connolly Leather Food, but the FDA didn't like that! lol
I plan to get some for my Escapetoo. Put it on liberally on a nice hot day, let it bake in for a couple hours, wipe off the excessand you'll definitely feel the difference!

Ok, just making a suggestion...

Leatherique is arguably the best leather treatment and maintenance product on the market right now. Certainly fits what you want to do with your leather. http://www.leatherique.com/

meh.. no matter what stuff you use... you will never avoid wrinkles.. ever.

but the conditioner will keep the leather soft and protect from any cracking..

i use meguiars leather cleaner/protector... honestly its good enough. no need to waste so much money in a protector..
