Preferred leather conditioner?
 
I'm looking for suggestions on a brand of leather cleaner and conditioner. I've used Zymol in the past and do like their products. I'm going to clean and condition the seats on my 2000 XK8 and want to see if there may be a better product that suits my needs out there. The seats are a little dry, but I think a good moisturizer will bring them around. Thank in advance.

p.s. does anybody know a source for Antelope (AGE) leather dye in the U.S.?

You may need more than conditioner......

I think you're going to need a good 'base layer' before moisturizing. I suggest for a 'gentlemanly' approach



Or depending on your level of whimsy

​​​​​​

Following full coverage of 'base', apply anything you want (perhaps something stolen from sink of a nearby woman) in the sure knowledge that nothing will likely harm or improve the 'base layer' or your 'original' seats...


Note: As an irrelevant aside, new seat covers from topsonline were not particularly difficult to install, but are more pricy than the 'base layer'
