Leather Care is a special product based on natural carnauba wax, silicone waxes and polymer care components which ensure gentle care of interior car fittings, motorbike cladding, luggage and all types of finished (painted) leather. Leather Care effortlessly removes dirt, grease and oil, penetrates quickly and deeply into the pores of the leather and restores
it without leaving a greasy film. High-quality care components protect the leather surface from becoming brittle and restore the leather to its original softness.

Lexol Conditioner

Lexol Cleaner

Vinylex for non leather

The key is NOT to overdo it! Leather needs very little. If it's a daily driver, once every 6 months for conditioner max.

Cleaner as needed, follow directions.

Best way: a small bowl of warm suds and a cotton cloth - go over the leather carefully and let dry. Then treat with cleaner where there are spots. Then use conditioner and buff. Let sit 24 hours.

When I use the conditioner, I pour a small amount in a cupped hand and then work it into the leather with both hands - this way you can reach every spot very easily.

Then buff with 100% cotton cloth. My leather looks damn good for 5+ years old daily driver, and I have supple Savanna.

Lexol, Pinnancle, Zymol, and Meguiars are all good products. Like msindi, I personally prefer the Zymol Treat for the leather as well.

Go to Properautocare.com and sign up for their newsletter. Then get newsletter 19 - it's a few months old. It has a great article about leather, the history of leather care and how best to care for your leather. It's based upon an interview with the Lexol folks, so it's geared towards their products. But it's highly informative.
