hey, my leather is starting to need some attention... but i have a huge problem with that "new car/fresh leather" smell. it makes me sick to my stomach and give me horrible migraines ... so that being said, i need some leather cleaning/restoring products that do not smell like leather/new car. anyone know good ones?

also... is the dash real leather? do i clean that with the same stuff as seats or would i need something else? if its something else then any help with non-smelly products for that too would be greatly appreciated!

The 'new car smell' comes from the adhesives used an vinyl / plastic outgassing not the finished leather

I'm looking for something that restores the leather smell.

Finished leather doesn't have any smell, although some dealers will introduce a short life chemical to reproduce what they consider to be a leather 'smell'

Finished leather upholstery is used by 95% as OEM in modern automobiles. It comprises a ~ 150 µ (6 Mil) multi stratum acrylic and polyurethane resin binder system covering over the leather hide; the top strata are the surface pigmentation (colour) and an abrasion resistant urethane is used to improve flexibility, fastness and adhesion to the leather, then two or three aqueous (water- based) pigmented base coat applications.
