hey yall ive been using meguiars leather conditioner for about a month now, i dont know whats the best out there on the market. The meguiars conditioner isnt too deep so it runs off real quick...

what would you guys say is the BEST leather conditioner out there? Let me know so i can start using asap. thanks



PS: how often is recommended for conditioning of the leathers?

 

Best leather cleaner hands down that I have ever used in my professional detailing experience is Leatherique Prestine Clean. I apply it by wiping it in with a terry cloth applicator and wipe with medium pressure. Then I let it sit about 15 minutes while I do the other seats and leather components. After that I take a damp cloth and remove the Prestine Clean. I follow up with a dry cloth to make sure I picked up all the moisture. This leaves the seats looking new and healthy. If your seats are in poor condition and really need some TLC then i would apply the Leatherique Rejuvenator. This is a deep cleaning conditioner that can restore just about any leather.

I apply this about every two months to my seats and I do the Rejuvenator 1 -2 times a year just to keep the seats looking perfect. Using both products helps give the leather the strength it needs to be durable but the soft feel to make it comfortable. I always get comments from friends about how nice the interior looks. My buddy is selling his S4 too and someone who came to look at was impressed with how well the leather looked considering it was an 01.

p.s. If anyone is looking for an S4 pushing mid to high 300hp, with under 50k on it let me know

 

i use Lexol.

 

I'll second the Leatherique system and I would suggest to anyone who uses Lexol or other products to try it at least once. A 16 oz. bottle is enough to do all the seats with some left over. One suggestion if you do try it is to wear some latex gloves during application. The first time I used it I was barehanded and the ph of the Rejuv. Oil didn't agree with my skin, not burning but more like the clammy feeling I can get from products like Tide.

 

I use the Meguairs as well but I've heard the Lexol is quite popular as well.

 

I have had good success with the Zaino Z9 & Z10 products.

 

Leatherique is great stuff, but it's expensive. If you only want to use the best it's probably a good bet. If you want a little less expensive but almost as good, I love the smell of Zaino Z9/10.

 

can leatheruque be purchased over the counter? where can it be purchased?

how close does lexol compare to leatheruqe?

 

I've only seen leatherique sold online, detailedimage or amazon.
The only obvious 'advantage' for me over Lexol is the aroma afterwards when its being used on the fairly new leather of a G35. I felt like the Pristine Clean pulled up dirt that Lexol had left behind but I usually have the windows open during the summer so it could have just been a dusty week. And like picus112 said, they like Zaino for the smell so its really personal preference.

 

another one for Lexol (cleaner and conditioner).

 

Zaino Leather In A Bottle is the best product there is. Awesome.

 

Lexol is the original and the best...anything else is just an imitation with a fancy name and an inflated price.

 

Not to be a ***** - but if you're going to make statements of fact like that you might consider backing them up. I like Lexol a lot, but I think calling anything regarding detailing "the best" is a bit tricky.
