Most store bought ones like Meguiar's or Mother's will do, but I like the stuff from Adam's Polishes.

I have had good luck with Meguiar's brand as an inexpensive leather cleaner/conditioner, but I am partial to Meguiar's products. I did prefer Meguiars over Armoral brand. Just my opinion though.

I don't care much for Armor All in general. There's much better products in the same price range. It's mainly the fact that the product is so readily available which even makes it a possible choice.

Adam's leather and Vinyl cleaner is really good stuff, best I've ever used. I just wish their shipping cost weren't so freakin high!

+1 I use both the cleaner and conditioner in my highlander which has 172,XXX miles on it, they look brand new! Now granted, I've never tried anything else, but why switch if it already works so amazing!

I'm thinking about the Lexol... can I use the Lexol Vinylex on my '08 Highlander's dash? I am concerned about sun damage.

Great product, I'm skeptical to try anything else! The conditioner always makes my seats feel so soft!

fwiw: "Vinylex actually penetrates below the surface layer to restore the underlying plasticizers. " Heavy on the UV protection.

Armor All tends to cause cracks in the leather and the dash more often.....
