Anyone know of any good leather conditioner?

Anyone use the Acura cleaning kit?

 

I use Meguiars. It seems to be very good so far. Kinda pricey though....I heard Mothers madea good leather conditioner/cleaner too.

now ordering AEM short ram

 

I use the stuff produced by Zaino Bros. I purchased the cleaner and conditioner along with the polish. I got around to cleaning and conditioning my leather and noticed a significant difference in the leather. Before, I noticed my leather becoming very shiny and hard, right where your butt sits in the front seats. However, when I applied the cleaner and then the conditioner, it was like I just bought the car. And the smell of the conditioner really contributes to the new car smell. I love this stuff. I have never tried meguiers or lexol so I cannot be convicted on it being the best, but from my experience I can say that I would recommend this stuff.

i like the lexol products, both the cleaner and conditioner. they don't leave the seats shiny

 

how's about lexol's vinylex product. will it make the dash shiny? (don't like that shiny look) wanted to get the 3-pack kit.

Did anyone try zymol leather cleaner and conditioner???

Wondering how those are

 

I used Lexol this weekend when I washed my car(even though it was supposed to rain this week, I couldn't stand the dirt bulding up on it from previous weeks of rain).

Anyway, getting back to my point.. Whatever product you use, I would suggest you do it when you don't have to drive your car for a few hours in order to allow the conditioner to set and dry properly.

I like Lexol alot, but I notice the leather is much softer than some parts that I didn't use the conditioner on. I don't know if this was a result of the way I applied it or because of the conditioner itself. The smell isn't that strong, and there is not any shine.

The cleaner and conditioner are about $8 each at PepBoys.

I used Lexol for the leather and 3M Refresh vinyl protectant for the dash. Both don't leave that shiny look.

Actually, it's cream of sum yung gai

 

I've used Armour All leather conditioner. It's like lotion. Is this any good?

 

I still stand by Meguiars. Never had a problem with it.

The Lexol Cleaner&Conditioner work great the Vinylex is not the best stuff to use on the dash.I used the stuff back some years ago & unless they have changed the formula it gives off a haze that will mess up your windows. Iam not saying don't use the vinylex on the car but not on the dash.I give two thumbs up to the Cleaner& Conditioner.I have not had a chance to do my seats.Its 54 today & maybe snow tomorow.

I'd say that the Meguiars shoudl be a super product. They make great stuff. I use their products for everything but the leather. I'm going to use this stuff called "Hyde Feed". It's kinda hard to find, but it's the best. Bentley, Aston Martin, Jaguar, all the superlux makers use it. I've seen it used over a long time and it's unbelievable how great the leather looked and felt in the car it was used on (was used every 6 months for 8 years and the leather is like new). That's the route I plan on taking.

 

i've tried most leather cleaner and i have to say that none can compare to the hyde cleaner from jaguar dealerships

A tip on applying it- Rub it in with your hands. It sounds kind of messy but all you're doing applying it with a cloth is wiping it off. Just spray conditioner all over the seat and rub it all over kind of massaging it. When most of it is worked in, then wipe it off. I noticed my seats are a lot smoother and have that new leather feel to them, your hands get REALLY smooth also. I use Lexol, but want to try Zymol as I love their waxes. I run a detailing business on the side so if anybody wants more tips let me know.
