Ahem, from the Dealer, it was less than I could find it on the web. Suprisingly I've found this to be true for a number of small items, such as the bumper washer covers, sun visor clips, etc. Don't be too hard on the dealer...

I used the Meguiar's stuff too. And it seemed OK. Then I noticed that it does not have lanolin in it so I switched to the Armor All stuff which DOES have lanolin. I'm using these for now because I happen to have them on hand. I eventually want to get the Conolly stuff before the summer heat returns in, about April...

Update: As minor fate would have it, I ended up at the dealer for something a little silly but I decided to pick up a jar of Hide Food while I was there. I zipped home and proceeded to treat the leather. I first thought it a good idea to use Lexol cleaner to remove any remaining "other" products. I then used a healthy amount of Food on the hides. And I have to admit I'm glad I was out in the driveway vs. the closed garage, because that stuff is a little stinky. I can't say for certain yet whether I like the Hide Food better than the Armor All; as I think the Armor All has a nicer, slick finish-feel to it. I should know tomorrow after the car sits overnight what the final verdict will be.
Peace,
Tom

Armor-all is not good for anything other than making stuff sticky with silicones..bad for leather..
I've used this stuff on all my leather..it is the treatment of choice for people that really care for their leather..
