303

 

My dealer ( Crest ) recommended Citra Clean from Malco.They use it all thier Acura products.

 

I've always used Lexol for my leather care. There is cleaner and there is conditioner. The cleaner won't change the shine of your leather and the conditioner is, in my opinion, the best on the market. It does not leave a greasy residue and it does not create an artificial shine. I always pick mine up at Pep Boys. I haven't seen it at any of the large department stores like Wal-Mart, KMart, Target, etc. I hear 303 is really good too as somebody has suggested. I've never used it though.

 

sorry to break the news to you if you haven't already heard, but not every surface in our car is leather. So your bottles of lexol, just like mine, are going to last a whiiiiiiile. The steering wheel, shifter, and any perforated part of the car is real leather. All the other parts are vinyl. So i'm going to use my lexol on the parts that are leather, and my vinylex (also made by lexol) until it runs out. After that, i'm thinking about using 303 for the entire car interior since i've heard 303 works for leather also

 

That what I did, vinylex on everything but leather, lexol cleaner and conditioner on the leather. Both products worked well.

I'd use 303, but it is hard to get out here (in Los Angeles).

 

If you're looking for 303 try a boating store. I know it's kinda strange, but I got my 303 at a boating supply store, they stocked tons of it because boaters use it to protect the rubber and fiberglass pieces on boats. I have never seen 303 in an autoparts store.

 

This may be a strange question, but if I use a cleaner / conditioner, I picture it getting into the perforation holes in the leather, and even after buffing, some of the chemical will ooze back out and get on my clothing.

I don't intend to use very much, but am I woried about nothing?

 

Go and purchase those wax applicator pads. Squeeze some of the product on the pad. Now squeeze the pad so that the product goes into the pad. No apply product to your seats using the pad.

I've been using this process for a while now. I find that it helps with the sprayer getting product on places you don't want it to. Using an applicator pad to apply anything makes it much more easeir, try this.

 

I've been using Meguire's leather wipes and they seem to have enough product to wipe 1 seat, but not too much so that excess runs into the holes. So far so good. Although they do leave the seat looking "extra glazed", but one wipe with a clean cloth buffs it off.

I use Zaino's leather care and it is pretty sweet!!!
