Yeah, look at the detailing forum and run a search for lots of info. For my new G, I've looked at the options and I'm pretty sure I'm going to purchase the leather cleaner and conditioners from Zaino. They are supposed to work great, and on top of that they smell great and don't leave any greasy residue. I'm going to give them a try.

I use Zaino. Lexol is very good too. I wouldn't go w/ the wipes though, get the bottle and use some clean rags or terry towels.

Anybody heard anything one way or the other about Maguires' leather wipes? (since I've already bought some...)

I keep my car garaged, away from UV and excessive temps when not in use.

I second the Lexol liquid forms (not wipes).
Maguires' - I say take that stuff back, pay just a little more and get a far superior product for this high-quality machine you've purchased (for more than a small chunk of change).

I've heard from a couple of people that if you buy your Lexol from a saddlery store, it's cheaper than if you were to get it at an automotive store...

I've never heard bad things about their exterior care products; I figured their leather stuff would be ok. But hey, that's what the forums are for, to get input on these kinds of things.

I use Zaino for everything. I used to smoke in my car (almost a pack a day) and you can't tell with the Zaino.

Same here, I use Zaino leather cleaner and conditioners. They are pretty good products. I used to use Lexol and found Zaino gives better leather smell. Smell like new car again!

So can you only get Zaino through mail order or Internet?
