bartkat Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I use Lexol cleaner and Lexol conditioner. It doesn't make them shiny but keeps the leather soft and prevents it from drying out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaugster Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 +1 for the Lexol leather conditioner. However, I use Woolite per the owners manual for cleaning prior to conditioning but that is just my preference. I will condition the leather at night, put on a heavy but even coat and let it set overnight. The leather is not as porous as a 'Biker' jacket is but I do it anyway.

dcfish Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I use LEXOL also, I like to apply it in the morning and let the car sit in the sun (black car) and let it bake in, Then I wipe off the extra. Works wonders. But that is just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Step Hen Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks for that! I have apparently been misapplying conditioner and cleaner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barlettafrank Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Is there anything special that needs to be done to ensure that the conditioner does not clog the ventalation perferations in the front seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Step Hen Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I ran into that situation while conditioning my seats. Apply the conditioner/shampoo to the cloth first and not directly onto the perforated sections. Not too much on the cloth either. That way, it won't build up in those tiny holes. Worked for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 You should take a look at a new car. Are the leather seats shiny? Absolutely not. Leather should be matte finished and soft to remain new looking ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry993 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I have used Lexol, then Griot's, and my favorite Leatherique for the past 10 years. One thing you can do for your seats is park your car facing the sun and put a sunshield in the windshield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linn Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I've used Lexol recently on my '07 IS250. (cleaner and conditioner) It's really easy to use, the seats now look absolutely new again. linn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
