Anyone help as I am a little confused regarding the choice of cleaner and renovator (Seats are good as only 4k miles) for my GT3

The leather cleaner is easy Colourlock/Swisswax/Zaino all good. It's understanding if the bucket seats (folding sport buckets) have coated leather or uncreated and therefore if renovator and treatment will work. Lots of advice around all leather being coated, so just clean. But I had an M5 which did have the uncoated more supple leather that did benefit from treatmanent, although most BMW's don't

The question is do Porsche use coated or uncoated leather on the sport bucket seats in a 991.1 ?

coated.

I've got the same car / seats.
any simple leather cleaner works - you're really just removing the grease / dirt on the surface

I guess some leather is not totally sealed as it absorbs product
