Default Cleaning and conditioning off white leather in a 1994 XJS-V12

Hello

I would like to clean and condition the soft leather in my car. Would you use Lexol or Leatherique ? I have both

Thanks
Terry

The best cleaner I have found is Girot's Garage Interior cleaner. I also use a surgeons scrub brush or a toothebrush with it. For conditioner, I have used the Autoglym and it works well, as does the Lexol. Don't use Leatherique on the newer Jag leathers, it can soften the dyes.

I've tried most of what is out there and I'd rate the Girot's as the best, with Autoglym Leather Cleaner as second. Autoglym is my primary cleaner for most things, the Girot's with a toothbrush for heavily soiled leather.

Thanks for the reply.
Would any of these products darken the off-white leather? And remember I'm talking about a 1994 XJS-12 so the leather is very soft

I have the same year/spec car in ivory leather and never had a problem with the products I mentioned.

Thanks, Jagoi64!
I guess when I wrote Off-white I meant Ivory. Its a really light color and I was afraid to use a product that would darken the leather.
