Its essential to keep it clean, water and a micro fibre are good enough if youre not all that fussy, I use Dr Leather myself.

Some info below.

If you buy the Volvo leather wipes you get 2 things in the pack. A cleaning wipe (which works well btw) and a cream for applying after cleaning. If the cream is not "feeding" the leather - and the leather has an impervious clear coat on top - then what is the cream doing?

I have been treating the tiny cracks in my seat bolster with the cream to try and keep it looking better for longer - and being the Volvo product assumed it was fit for purpose - but in your opinion is that not the case?
