Not got leather in the Volvo but in M3 and previous cars I use Gliptone, also used Meguiars Gold Class (decent) and Poorboys Leather stuff (reasonable too)

Used auto glym, now switched to Auto Finesse 'Hide' range. Good results.
Slightly more satin look than AG, but seemingly good protection so far. |

Hide is good, I use Gliptone Liquid Leather or Dr Leather wipes and seal it over with GTechniq L1 which is great for blond leather as it eradicates dye transfer from jean with etc

cable ties and a gag seems to do the trick......although since the arthritis got worse I'm finding nearly all the ones I can catch I throw back!
