Default Car care products in the GTA?

Besides going to Crappy Tire for car care products, all they carry is Simonize and Maguires. Theres got to be a place in the GTA that I can find better products.

I'm looking for a good leather conditioner for my seats. Any suggestions?

Leatherique is a great product. A lot of effort but worth it from what I hear. Most of us use eshine to buy our stuff. Great place to do business.

Yes. The combo of the cleaner & rejuv turned my old hard leather seats into pretty soft & pliable seats. I am sold on it. I even give it a coat of rejuv before winter storage & let it sit all winter.

Eshine but if you need to pickup stuff local try Frank at The Autobahn, can't go wrong with the wax and he carries Lexol stuff.

If you really want to give the leather a treatment, rather than just maintaining it, definitely go with rejuv oil and pristine clean. They work a little differently than most leather cleaners/conditioners. Apply rejuv oil first (liberally), and let sit for as long as you can. If you can keep the interior warm it helps. When you're ready to remove it do so with pristine clean. I get most of my stuff from eshine.ca too.
