Leather care?

so far I have not found a better product than "Leather in a bottle" made by Zaino.

of course that is just my opinion!

This might be the completely wrong thing to do but I use Son of a gun on my seats.Haven't had any issues as of yet.

Over the years I have used many products on my seats. My choice for the last few y ears is Leather Care from Griot's Garage. It does a very good job on the stang, my daily driver and my wife's daily driver.

I've used Armorall Leather Wipes on my seats strictly for convenience sake. The only complaint I have is that it makes the seats slippery, but they seem to be fine for looks and protection.

Guess I'll buy one of each of the above and see what works best, though my gut says go with the Mequiar's. Kind of like, PayLess, ThomMcAn, HushPuppies or Florsheim, if you get my drift.:lol:

I use a product that the dealer sold me made by Commodore Coatings. It seems to work well.

Leather

303 Protectant is the best..........the boat and pool guys use it!

Mequires. Meguires, however you spell it has in a black bottle a leather cleaner conditioner that works really well.

I bought a bottle of the Meguire's conditioner, but before I could use it I spotted the Meguire's "wipes" and bought some of those. I am not so impressed with them, and am now hesitant to use the liquid - on the tan leather interior of Jeanie's Sebring convert, it started rubbing-away the pigmentation - a problem I've never had with any other product. It also REALLY revealed any surface-imperfections on the leather - made it look cracked, and blackened the "meat" of the leather beneath it.

On the Bullitt (we were cleaning both cars at the same time, or I wouldn't have continued using them) it made the seats look like they had a "glaze" on them - and made them slick and "squeak" as you move-around on them.

I don't think there was any permanent damage, but I'm not gonna use the Meguire's "wipes" any more.

I concur.Nothing like it.It brings out the leather smell.

I have used Lexol in the past and loved it. I am thinking of trying Spinneyback this time around.

I agree Lexol is very good! If I had not tried the Zaino I would have kept using the Lexol. I found that it is a little hard to find sometimes. Since I have to order Zaino, (for the exterior) I order their leather in a bottle at the same time. It also returns that FRESH leather smell.

use a leather cleather (sparingly) prior to a leather "food". the benefits will show themselves in the years to come.

Any place that has saddles should have Lexol. Or is it the Zaino that's hard to find?
