applying lexol

so i just tried to apply lexol with turtlewax applicator pads ( http://www.cyberjeep.com/prodinfo.as...-12&variation= )
and it didnt work out too well.. would someone tell me their procedure of leather cleaning? i sprayed some lexol on 1 pad and kept another one to dry the leather.. but then i ran out of pads to use for the conditioner.. and also i dont think these pads are so great for leather cleaning.. maybe you guys use something better? i plan on going to the store on monday to get something better because this isnt the way to go

thanks.

I just squirt a little lexol on a 100% cotton made in USA towel and wipe down the seats. Then I just wait a couple minutes and wipe off any excess. Considering the amount of lexol needed for all of the seats, having a big towel really helps.

I like Lexol but my honest opinion is to get Leatherique. I can't find anything that cleans leather as good.

how many towels are used for applying lexol?
(i suppose: 1 for applying lexol leather cleaner, 1 for wiping it down, 1 for applying lexol coniditioner, 1 for wiping it down?)
also, would microfiber towels be good for this? i dont like the lint..

lastly, would towels be ok to be thrown in a washer? or no? (the chemicals.. how strong are they?)

To apply the CLEANER i use a white cotton crew sock. Wet. Scrub the cleaner into the seats well. Then scrub using a clean, damp terrycloth towel, rinsing frequently, until there are no more suds on the seat.

Let the seats dry, usually takes an hour or so.

For the conditioner I spray the Lexol directly onto my hand, rub it into the seat. Let soak in for a few minutes then buff with a clean terrycloth towel.

Been doing it this way for 30 years on various cars over the years. Seems to work pretty well.

As I posted before,

http://www.lexol.com/docs.html

There is no need for any further instruction as the creators of Lexol spared some time to write that.
