Default What leather condioner do you use?

I have the factory leather that comes in the C4S (Supple leather?) what do you reccomend for leather cleaner / conditioner. Mine is not really dirty but as far as I know has never been treated. I don't want something that makes it look shiny like armor all.

Thanks!

Leathermaster LeatherVital. Best conditioner I've used - by far. Used to use Lexol; have used many others, but LeatherVital is the king.

In terms of a cleaner... I haven't found a good one. Have tried a lot of the cleaners, too, including Leathermaster Strong Cleaner. None of them work very well.

I've become a huge fan of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser for cleaning plastic and vinyl. The package says it works on leather shoes, so I wonder if you can use them on leather seats. Anyone have any experience with the Magic Eraser on leather?

Zaino. Perfection in a bottle.



Its not an oily shine. Just a deep color.

Saddle soap with water, and then a little bit of Hide Food (by Connelly). I think it's called "Leather Care" by Connelly now because too many Mexican maids saw it in people's refrigerators and tried it on stuff...

Leather CPR once every couple of months and Meguire's leather conditioner more regularly.

I used to use Lexol Cleaner + Conditioner. Now I use Griot's since it doesn't leave that "sticky" residue. I use a latex glove to rub it down into the seats.

I believe this is what the manual recommends.

Andy (AudiOn19s) recommended water and Woolite (30:1 iirc) and I will likely give that a shot before I put the car away for the winter.
