After a month of ownership it is now time for me to wipe down my dash and panels. What are you guys using on your leather seats and dash? I want to retain it's natural color - no huge gloss or anything.

 

Adams Leather Cleaner is just fabulous. However, when your leather really gets dirty and needs a deep cleaning and conditioning, there is a product called leatherique (google it) which is like nothing on the market anywhere.

 

Connolly's Hide Food for me. Might as well use the traditional British stuff. Goes on easy, has a nice smell and does the job really well. I prefer it over Lexol.

 

This is about the same as motor oil, spark plugs, and high octane fuel.....lots of opinions.

Search "Leather Conditioner" and you'll find plenty of discussion.

MY opinion....heh heh heh....is that if your leather is still in good condition, ANY of the "usual" suggestions will work well to keep it that way.

Leatherique is great stuff, but expensive. I especially like the "Pristine Clean" product. The Leatherique conditioner is excellent but its true forte is softening older leather....probably not needed in your case.

I've tried many products. These days I use Pristine Clean followed by Lexol. All's well.

OTOH, a pal of mine has been using ordinary, non-exotic, off-the-shelf, $7.95/bottle Meguiers Leather Conditioner on his car for 10-12 years. I have to admit that his leather is just a soft and beautiful as the day the day he bought the car.

Hard to argue with success :-)

I use Lexol to clean it then use Zaino's Leather Conditioner afterwards. I like the smell of the Zaino stuff.

 

I use Pinnacle leather conditioner.

 

I use Mom's Brand, conditioner/cleaner smells good and gives a nice greaseless shine. In high school I use to detail cars and it's just the brand they used on bentleys etc. figured it would be fine for my cat, pretty cheap stuff comparatively speaking.

 

Lexol

 

I like Wolfgang cleaner and conditioner
