I was wondering what's the best product to use when cleaning your leather seats?

Lexol Leather Cleaner and Conditioner.

There seems to be several decision point you have to make, and I have no advice in particular (although I can tell you what I'm trying.

Spray versus creme.

All-in-one versus separate cleaner and conditioner.

Lexol (separate, creme) is highly recommended. Zymol is $7 per bottle (separate, creme) at Target. Meguiars (either) has a good reputation across the line, and since I was already in my local Kragen, that's what I bought.

No time yet to apply it, tho. Grrrr.

I use the Meguiar's (can't recall exactly which one but it has UV protection, my car's a Vert) and it's a spray, but I spray it onto the rag, then apply it, then let it soak in for a few minutes, and then with another clean rag, buff it/wipe it clean to a nice shine. It's got a nice smell to it, and I use it on my dash too (I have extended leather) i just don't buff it to a shine on the dash cuz I don't want it to reflect up on the windshield and obstruct my view at all.

I used to have a 95 Z28 with that raked windshield, and if I used any product on the dash that left a shiney finish, on a sunny day I could not see out the front of the car! :eek:
