Reports of Damage to Seats from Conditioners

I've read about the various leather conditioners that people have recommended. However, in searching previous posts I haven't come across anyone who has reported damage, such as discoloration, to the finish of a seat from using a conditioner. As we all know, every product suggests that it be tested on an unseen area before broad application. So, has anyone had a bad experience using Lexol in particular? Does anyone have an opinion about its use on seats that have been partially redyed to match the factory color? Thanks.

+1 w/ Lexol, in my case on black leather seats... no problems. I DO think there might be problems with Connelly Hide care (called something else now). I tried it on another seat, also leather and it appeared some of the dye came off on the cloth. I'd just say be careful w/ the Connelly product.

I am a big fan of Lexol. I use their vinyl and leather care products. There have been some consumer reports that rate it high and I remember one of my motorcycle magazines did a study that rated it first.

Before I switched to cloth seats (I just like them better) I used Lexol, both the cleaners and the car products. They worked pretty good with no ill effects. I also used the Zaino leather care product, that stuff really smells like fresh leather and works well too. I actually liked it better but it was pretty subjective.

Too bad I don't know what it is - when I was shopping for a 993 I looked at one with that light grey leather - it was trashed from whatever he applied to it. Worst part - the shifter **** looked like someone sat on it. Moral of the story - stick to the stuff people here don't complain about - Zaino, Lexol, etc.

I *was* a longtime user of Lexol in the past with no ill effects that I recall. I then got turned to this stuff:

I use the Rejuv Oil and the Pristine Clean with stellar results; it's a world of difference from the Lexol. No residue afterward, unlike the Lexol. Softer results than Lexol. More of a "clean" scent than the Lexol. Been using this stuff now for, oh, at least 5 years now (about 2x/year applications) over a couple of vehicles and really have to say this stuff beats lexol in every way possible, and is well worth the price. Yeah, I know I sound like an infomercial, but it really is that good, IMHO.
