I want to know which products everyone is using on their leather and their dash...
I am currently using Lexol (the 2 bottle kit) for my leather, but I am not sure that I am pleased with it. I need to revive my leather.
On my dash, I am using black magic with the satin/flat finish (very satisfied)...
Always open to better stuff though.

I use Lexol on the leather as well. For the dash, only a damp cloth to wipe it down for me.

Hard to find, at least in my area, Mother's leather conditioner on seats.
Turtle Wax F21 super protectant for dash.

Nothing on the dash except a damp cloth to dust it. I typically don't like the look of any product on the dash so I like just wiping it with a damp cloth from time to time. I have heard aerospace stuff is good and leaves the surface grease look free so if you want to use something that's probably the way.
For seats I use Zaino leather in a bottle.

1z einszett deep plastic cleaner

Best cleaner and protectant, period. Beats everything mentioned in this thread, hands down. The has a matte finish and smells great.

Damp microfiber cloth with a tad of soap from the bucket I clean the car with.

Sometimes the simple way is the easiest.. Leaves u with no residue or friggin mirror shine that will blind u to Tim buck tu

anything on the dash collects dust like crazy...

In the past I have used 303 on everything, but didn't really like what it made my seats, wheel, and shifter feel like. This summer I switched to Lexol for the seats, wheel, and shifter and really like how it leaves the leather. It is "dry" feeling as in no grease or slime feel if that makes any sense. I still wipe the dash down with a damp cloth and then put 303 on it.

303 & Lexol

No way lol ....why go through that struggle bro? I used The ArmorAll wipes to clean the dash and for my leather also ArmorAll Leather protectant...it leaves it so soft for a long time and it smells great!

For those that don't like residue on their dashboard I highly recommend Meguiar's Quik Interior Detail spray. It leaves a finish that's basically like you wiped it with water, but has some UV protectant along with some other benefits that don't leave any sort of residue or "wet" look. Only downside is that it does smell a bit like sunscreen lotion/spray afterwards, but quickly airs out.

Where are ya'll getting the 303 from? Offline or are there any autoparts stores that carry it?

dezymond

Some autostores carry it. Online they can be found at autogeek (where I personally get a majority of my supplies)

Lexol cleaner ... Griots garage leather care( smells really nice, like brand new leather) and griots garage dressing for dash ( darkens up and looks smooth) not shiny or greasy looking ...

dash just a damp towel

For all the leather i use Chemical Guys Leather Cleaner. Works great and leaves the leather with a matte look as it should be. If your leather is shinny its most likely dirty

I'll 2nd on Meguiar's Quik Interior Detail. It does have the smell but it won't leave that wet residue on the dash. It's perfect!

I also use Meguiar's Ultimate Black Plastic for the side walls where the seatbelt sits on, also use this for plastic by the door entrance where the A C U R A logo is in embedded (black plastic though)... I've also used this for the front grill where I've plasti dipped.. Brings the black shine back to the plasti dip..

I use to me anal about my seat and interior till I found out acura doesn't use real leather nor do most car companies. It's bonded leather, which is extremely think.. Sort of like a wood veneer on a substrate.

Found that out when I undid my seats. This is why the leather cracks and u see a different color in the crevice.

So now I am not as concerned as I use to be. I just use meguires one seats meh

lexol cleaner for seats, followed by zaino

I bought a bottle of 303 a while back but have been too lazy to apply it, the car is my DD so I rarely go crazy with cleaning. I thought the leather had a plastic coating on it? Seems like leather conditioner would be a waste if it doesn't actually penetrate the leather. I was planning on using 303 on the seats in a few days before I throw in a kid seat for an extended period to protect it, as well as a car seat cover/protector thing.

how does 303 cope with heat? say in the engine bay? Can it be used on wheels too?

EvilJoker

The Black Magic I use is not shiny at all. It is the "matte" finish one and I dont have any problems with dust build up.

The 303 stuff... is it petroleum based or silicone based or water based?

EvilJoker

NM...

303® Aerospace Protectant™ is a water-based proprietary formula that contains no petroleum distillates, alcohol, mineral oil or harmful silicone oils.

TurnerDan

I use Zymol leather conditioner and 303 for the dash and door cards.

Don't worry, whether you use even the best of products or don't use any, your dash will eventually crack too.

UTAH Type-S

I use a product called V.L.R. for my lwather and dash.
I believe mothers makes it.

I heard the dash crack issue only happens with the 04-06 TLs
