Wipe them down with a damp warm microfibre cloth to give them a clean.
To get the smell you can pick up leather aroma essence, a few drops on a cotton wool pad shoved under the seat will last for several weeks.
Cheers for that! The leather cleaner I got from the dealer brought them up smashing and I used v. little so it should last a while! Will have a look at leather aroma's.

I dont have the ZT anymore if you are referring to the leather in those Paul. Should have made it clear in the first post. I'm on about the merc, or is all automotive leather sealed?

I'm not sure that the leather is sealed in my car though Paul. The conditioner I have that was part of the kit to maintain the leather, writes on about pores in the leather and allowing it to breathe.
