Can you help me out with choosing a quality leather cleaner and conditioner? I've read that Pinnacle and Wolfgang are good but which is better? What are your other choices? Thanks.

Lexol has always done the job for me. I think it's excellent on all automotive and home apps.

Lexol is good, but I don't like the smell. I just bought some Meguiars Gold Class leather cleaner and conditioner. I'll try it out tomorrow.

It smells better than the old, rotten milk I'm usually cleaning up with it.

Toddlers and car detailing just don't mix.

Meguiar's all the way. Used it on my 99 Eclipse Spyder and 05 EVO VIII...EVO seats still look like new. I carried the bottle on me and did it about twice a week, maybe more if I felt it needed it (car used to sit outside 24 hrs a day). No streak/staining, just spray it on the rag, not the seat itself.

anyone use the Armorall Leather wipes? was wondering for the maintence cleanups how is it?

I use the leather wipes. It's slippery for the first day or so but it gets the job done.. well as much as a convenient wipe can give you.

Updates on the Meguiar's leather cleaner/conditioner?

I've used Sonus leather cleaner and conditioner, the cleaner works well if you put some effort into it. The conditioner is okay as well, maybe not the best improvement. I'll try picking up a bottle of Lexus cleaner/conditioner today.

update on meguiar's?

It's good stuff. Not a lot of cleaning power, but it does condition well. You might want to clean the leather first with the Woolite mix or a 50/50 mix of alcohol and water, then use the Meguiars Gold Class leather conditioner/cleaner. Wipe it on then wipe off the excess. It leaves a smooth non-sticky finish.

I assume you mean the 1/10 woolite mix? And I imagine you'd just apply with a cloth?

Yeah, 10:1. You can apply with a rag, but I like to apply with foam. It makes the product go further and spread evenly.
