My front seats have become increasingly \'creaky\' of late. It\'s not a mechanical creak but it appears to be the leather itself on the upright (back) part of the seat, as if I lift my back away it stops. Going over speed humps really grinds my shit.

I\'m guessing the leather needs conditioning/feeding to stop this creak?

My question is what is the best leather care product out there I can apply to stop this annoyance?

I used Gliptone products based on a recommendation on these forums and I must say they are brilliant as restoring the matt finish on the leather.

GT12 and GT11 are the products I used.

Also smells like new leather after.

Dave I've tried about 5 different leather care lotions and eventhough I'm not a major fan of turtle wax stuff their leather cleaner and conditioner is excellent, it leaves an almost like new matt finish and doesn't smell too strong, it also makes the leather a bit more slipppy so its easier to get out of the seat

Mine has just started to do that too. I'm off put to buy some leather cleaner

[Dr Dave]

Thanks for the recommendations guys!

Both my E90 an E91 did something similar to this, i found it was the seat belt receptacle creaking against the seat-side next to the centre console, a quick rub down there with a duster and some Mr Sheen lubed it all up and stopped the squeaking!

No pun intended....

[Dr Dave]

Yeah mine used to do that too! Really used to piss me off!!!!

I've got some Gliptone now, just haven't had the time to apply it.

Mine does the squeaking too but i traced the noise to the seat belt connector at the side where it rubs on the leather. Its got what seems to be a bit of velcro stuck to it but it probably needs a bigger piece
