That champagne leather looks great with the contrasting trim! But with a dog and kid (another one due) I fear it would look shabby very quickly.

Finding Terra dakota leather incredibly muck resistant which is handy. Winter + two year old and muddy boots = lots of cleaning.

All leather gets dirty at the same rate - the only difference is whether you can see the dirt (and therefore clean it off straight away) or leave it to grain into your leather because it 'looks' ok.

ss - fear not, my leather gets cleaned and conditioned far too often...

Must get me some of those wipes! Now the little 'un is out of nappies, we've stopped having a handy stock of leather cleaning Baby Wipes around.....

Sounds like the Dakota leather is a lot more resilient than the British Leyland, oops sorry 'Range Rover' variety!

I'd agree, £7.00 for Meguairs, feck!
That would clear the shelf for the similar variant at Tesco

I got a "Supagard" pack with my car - about £150 worth of goodies including loads of leather wipes. Very handy even if they do smell a bit odd.

Here is a link to the wipes.....i also use Leather Master wipes but theyre more expensive! A tub of these wipes should last a good 3 months at least, bargain in my book!

I also use those wipes, they go great guns for preventing grime etc getting ground in, give the leather a wipe down when you wash the car and job done, def worth it.

there is a white and oyster 3 series on autotrader. I think you could get away with it in Dubai, but not the UK.
