I have been wiping down my leather with a damp microfiber for awhile, and I was wondering if this will take off or affect the leather conditioner that I put on the seat? I've been using Zaino Z-10, but I may switch to Lexol. Is wiping down the leather with a damp microfiber towel, followed by a dry one to totally dry it a good method of cleaning it in between conditioning it?

While water is the most common solvent, but it requires some help with cleaning (just like you add soap in a shower)

Try a 10:1 solution Woolite / distilled water. IMO switching from Zaino to Lexol is a giant step backwards

I use the lexol leather wipes and than I use the protectant

What is the 10:1 solution Woolite? You have a link?

TOGWT

Woolite is a liquid soap used for delicate cleaning

Ratios (Dilution):
Dilution rates are shown as a ratio i.e. a 10:1 solution of distilled water / Woolite®, this means that the product is diluted ten parts distilled water to one part Woolite®. If you have a container with dilution markings fill the bottle with water to the dilution level required and then add product to the fill line.

where can i get a lexol leather cleaner? a friend of mine spilled a little soda a few days ago and another friend spilled some juice. i wiped it quickly with a damp papertowel. will that harm the leather? one of the spills was on the front passenger heated seats. will that cause any damange?

please help.....and lesson learned. no more drinks in my car.

Pep Boys, Advanced Auto or at several online sites.

Your best bet is to go with a really good leather cleaner and then do a once over with a really good leather protector which helps to moisturize the leather can keep it from cracking or developing stress lines.

I hate lexol. Makes leather feel sticky to me.

The Zaino cleaner, and leather in a bottle friggin rule.

I had the seats shampood and put on zaino z10 -- it still kinda smells when the weather gets hot. I have to get it steam cleaned now. The headrests do not smell - they smell like the original leather.

Ya know thats the second time I have heard of the Acura leather gettin stinky. I have a potential client the next town over complaining of the same thing.....I advised him exactly what Jon advised, then recondition with a good conditioner. He even said the headrests were fine also!
