Cleaning and conditioning leather
What do you guys use to clean and condition your leather seats?
I haven't used anything else but Mothers leather cleaner and Mothers leather conditioning and my seats still look like new.

I have not found anything better then Meguiars products period. I use them on the inside and outside. I don't think there is one product of theirs that I do have in my garage. Use the cleaner first and the conditioner second. I do mine twice a month but I'm anal.

I've been using a diluted solution of Woolite to clean the seats and then protecting them with 303 Aerospace Protectant. It's also good for the dash, door panels and centre console. Interior looks and smells almost brand new (car's over 4 years old)

OK, how about I expand this thread a little more....
What do these products cost?
Where do you purchase them? Local retail or on-line.
I mean, I drive a TL, that doesn't mean I'm made out of money.

Try this. I used to be a Lexol and saddle soap fan myself until I gave this stuff a shot. It's called "Leather in a Bottle". After you clean the leather and condiion w/ this Your car will smell like you just bought new seats You can pretty much only get it online unless theres a Zaino retail seller around you.

walmart is your friend. If that fails, try target. If that fails, then your local auto store, i.i., pep boys, autozone, etc.

Sorry to re-waken an "old" thread, but of all these products mentioned, do any of them leave a shiny or slippery residue on the seats? I don't want that at all, but am interested in something to keep the leather nice and new feeling. Products mentioned:
Simoniz Leather cleaner/conditioner
Meguiars leather cleaner
Lexol
Zaino
Zymol
(or others)

Zaino's "Leather in a Bottle" conditioner leaves no residue or shine. I can attest to that as most other products do. It's the easiest I have used to date. You simply rub on and let it sit and your done. Your car will smell like you just put in new leather seats. I love the stuff

None of the good products should. I use meguiars (and another brand i use for my couch at home..but cant remember the name off the top of my head) None leave a residue or shine. Just a nice soft feeling leather.
