As my M5 is already 1 month old I am wondering how to start with the best leather maintenance. From my previous experience from my F82 M4, Marino leather seats are really fragile and wears up quite fast. Question is - what products I should use to keep it as good as new?

Today I spent some time on detailing forums and seems like Zymol Leather Cleaner and Zymol Treat Leather Conditioner will be the products that I would go for.

In M4 I have used Gyeon Leather Cleaner and Leather Coat however the effect for me was too glossy. I want to keep factory mat finish without any glossynes.

What are your opinion and how do you maintain leather in your cars?

What do you use for maintenance after ceramic pro interior. I had mine protected and debating what to use. My installer told me a damp cloth would be good enough...:

Ceramic pro sport can be used on top of all ceramic pro products.. I wipe mine with a damp cloth to wipe off any dirt then apply ceramic pro sport

Where can you purchase the ceramic pro sealant and ceramic pro cleaner?

You can’t purchase the ceramic pro leather sealer unless a certified detailer applies it for you.. the ceramic pro SPORT can be purchased to take home from the detailer as a maintenance spray..

I have Merino leather and though the Gyeon products didn't change the appearance at all. I just ordered them.

Thanks for answers. After some additional research I have decided to go with Swisswax Leather Kit. I have still Gyeon products, however i will not use it on M5 Leather. This is the effect of using this product for one year in M4 leather:

The M4 leather got to shiny for me, and I was using both - cleaner and leather coat.

To compare - I want to keep the mat appearance of my steering wheel and seats that you can see below for as long as possible

I do not want to use one product like Gyeon Leather Shield, and leave it without further maintenance, because I think that if you want to keep your leather soft it need to be regularly treated by some conditioner. So after reading many reviews I decided to go with Swisswax - just made an order yesterday and can't wait use it for the first time

Gyeon Leather Shield is all I use now. Works great on Silverstone.

How about Gyeon Leather Shield or Ceramic pro leather sealant durability? What is the appearance of the leather after 3 or months of everyday use after single application of one of this products?

I'm at 6 months of everyday use, with ceramic pro, I have not done a single thing since my detailer did the seats. They still look new, and my seats are white FYI.

I applied two coats of Gyeon in the summer. Have been driving it daily in snowy winter, with 3 toddlers kicking with their snow boots in the rear seats. No issue so far.
