Lexol FTW

No issues like that at all.

 

you used probably way to much. I use armor all liquid clear gel leather cleaner.

 

i use the gold class cleaned and ive had no problem since day 1. you just have to know how to rub it the right way

 

To the Lexol users......do you use the cleaner or conditioner or both? I have an 07

 

I've been using Lexol for years and my routine has worked fine for me. I use the cleaner once a month and every 3 months I use the conditioner after the cleaning. Weird I know but I just mark it on my calendar when its time to condition it, never had any complaints about my seats in any of my cars

 

Many people are unaware of the fact that since the late ‘80s early ‘90s many of the newer domestic cars and some imports (US) do not use natural leather hides anymore. Approximately 80% of vehicle manufacturers have used (thermoplastic) polyurethane covered leather for their interior upholstery. Vehicle leather upholstery is made from natural hides, chrome tanned and uniquely treated with a light pigmented urethane coating or a vinyl covering to make it more viable for automotive seating. It retains the softness of natural top-grain leather but resists fading in direct sunlight, which besides body oil is leathers worst enemy.

Compare automobile upholstery [finished pigmented leather] to a vehicles paint surface with a clear coat;

1. A base material (metal) with a colour coat of water-based polymer paint
[Leather hide pigmented with a water-based polymer resin]

2. A water-based polymer clear coat to provide protection
[Water-based polyethylene clear coating to provide protection]

3. Paint doesn’t need oils to feed it (whatever Zymol says) nor does leather; neither is a living thing.
[Leather was removed from a dead animal, it’s then fat-liquored to preserve its oils and then sealed, and it doesn’t need oils or creams to feed or condition it, even if they could permeate the various coverings]

Wow TOGWT, I feel very educated on this now. Thanks for that information.

 

which wipes?

 

Me too lmao

 

I use the megs gold class wipes followed up with mf cloth wipe down. It's still greasy, but not that bad, after a few days it looks much better.

 

I use the spray.

Work great.

 

^+1, Lexol is the best and I've tried a lot. I really don't use the cleaner that much, only the conditioner.

 

Wow that looks pretty bad. I use Meguiar's gold class paste and it works good. I work the leather without holes first then the paste gets into the terry towel then I work the perforated section.

 

i use the paste, and its fine, i mean use a little discretion when smearing a paste into perferated leather. try working the paste into the cloth prior to apply it to the seats. the stuff is a little difficult to work with however it is worth it

 

I only use Lexol cleaner and conditioner'
