Forgot about the "search" function, looks like "Leatherique" may be the brand of choice, at least too three. Any local retailers, big boxes , auto parts, or online only?

Any Lexol fans? The conditioner is made from emulsified tanning oils (allegedly animal brains).

The cleaner is pH balanced for aniline dyed leathers (slightly acidic).

I like Lexol but I don't have seat coolers. I've heard great stuff about leatherique - but check out MASTER OCD cleaner Larry's take on it...

He goes deep.

His glass (windshield) cleaning video is also next level.

Lexol for me. The cleaner does a great job. Someone did a nice write up on here about how to use it properly. Two bucket system using warm water and a brush for agitation. Made all the difference and the amount dirt that comes out is night and day vs my old method.

I've used leatherique products for over 10 years and worked well. The two step process a bit more tedious. Over the past 3 years switched to Connolly leather conditioner and their cleaner. The conditioner rejuvenates the leather better, or about the same as leatherique.

I tried Connolly and switched to leatherique. It's strange stuff but gets great results.

Leatherique here as well. Works so good thats when I found out my car seats had been redyed. Now needs some touch up. Bad redye job or too good of cleaner? Not sure. But seats looked great besides the dye coming off.

Lexol cleaner and conditioner. Even though I sometimes use another product (Chemical Guys?) if I'm doing a quick wipe down.

+1 for Leatherique. It can turn cardboard stiff leather into supple soft like new leather

Leatherique ftw

Is that an early 70's Camaro?
