Recommend me a leather conditioner

I clean my interior constantly but have been noticing that the dash, doors, and leather has been looking a little dry lately. It doesn't have the new sheen that it used to have. What would you guys recommend that I could use on the dash and the leather?

If you want the new leather smell, I would suggest getting some Zaino Z-9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner and Z-10 Leather in a Bottle. Both can be purchased at http://www.zainostore.com I also have lexol but I like to alternate sometimes to have that nice leather scent. And for the dash and titanium finish I would suggest Vinlex, I think its from the same ppl that make lexol... Good luck

Zaino leather cleaner and conditioner. My '03 willow interior looks brand new, despite 30000 kms, my blue jeans, and my black leather jacket. And the leather is softer than new.
Concur with Aerospace 303 for the vinyl and plastic. This stuff is used on everything from cars to kayaks because it really works. You can't go into a canoe/kayak store without seeing a rack of the stuff, and only this stuff, for protection against the sun and it's reflections from the water, for everything from deck to sprayskirt to lifejacket. Amazing how universal it's acceptance/endorsement in the watersports community, where everything is otherwise destroyed by the harshest of UV conditions.

I use 303 on all vinyl, plastic AND leather (alternate with lexol) for added UV protection.

Motorcycle Consumer News did an in-depth review on leather conditioners about 1 year ago. They looke at about 15 different products and Lexol was rated one of the best. One of the most important considerations was Ph balance for the leather and Lexol, unlike many others, was rated high due to being neutral.

I would have to say Lexol or Zano. If the leather is really dry put some Lexol Neatsfoot on it.
