I tried to search for it, but I couldnt find a definite answer. Have any of you used armor all leather wipes? I'm thinkin it may not last in the long run, but then again, I'm leasing. Not to say I dont care, but whatever happens as a result of stupidity AFTER i give the car back, I dont really care. Thats the dealer's problem. BTW i have an 03 TLP

They blow! You might as well coat it with baby oil.
Lexol makes a decent product.

I used one and then threw out the rest. They SUCK! I spent more time trying to clean up the mess they made then actually applying them. Get some Meguiar's gold class - not the wipes, the squeeze bottle. It works WONDERS.

I have the Meguir's wipes, and use them for fast cleaning. But, when I really want to treat my leather, I have a bottle of Meguir's Gold Class.

Wipes suck.
Get Lexol, cleaner and the conditioner.
Makes old leather smell and feel like new, soft with a subtle shine, not like that greasy armor all crap.

I agree they really suck, I threw them out after one
use as well. They left very bad streaks in the leather.

Yeah, you have to follow them with a soft towel.
The real stuff is better.

I used Meguiar's product for exterior and interior of all my cars. Works nicely.

i used meguiars on my tl just yesterday in fact had some like sticky candy stuff on my passenger seat and it took it right off and made the rest of the seats look nice

P.S.- I know there is someone out there that might think that sticky substance was something else, but trust me its not

I heard they do more harm than good since they are "water based" which could crack the leather...

I just bought the Lexol Cleaner and Cond. today, so much better than the Arm-crap i used to use.

Lexol is the way to go

I used the leather & vinyl wipes (not armor all, but some other good brand) and THEY ARE HORRIBLE!
These wipes leave shiny / glossy streaks everywhere. I used a wet towel to try to remove this crap and it did no good. There's another post on the forum, in which people suggest using MICROFIBER mitts and towels, so I'm gonna try and hope it works in "buffing" it out. Wish me luck.

P.S. - The glass wipes are really good. This is the only canister that I'm using consistently. The vinyl wipes will use for the car tires only. The leather wipes will probably end up in the trash soon!

Just finished doing the best that I could with the microfiber cloth that I had. It "diminished" a good amount of the streaks (I think it's harder to "buff" it out of the leather). There are still some very minor showing here and there, but believe me, it's alot better than what it looked like a few hours ago. I guess I gotta spend a little more time "buffing" it off, but I don't think I'll be able to totally get rid of everything. I'm hoping with "time" passing by, the interior will go back to a more "normal" look.
Again, I think it (microfiber cloth) did a very good job, so I recommend everyone to use this (in cloth or mitt format). Good luck to all!

Lexol might be able to get the Armour All crap out, alfielum. I'm Lexol'in my car tomorrow.

lovemyTL

back to my original question...i realize that all you say it sucks, and it probably does...but are they good enough to last me through my lease??? im not trying to take care of my leather so much that the next driver has a nicer car.

I wouldn't touch anything that has the name armor all with a ten foot pole.

I would stay away from it for both near and far goals.

Thanx Nate... I'll see if I can find some at R&S Strauss or another auto store over the weekend...
