Can anyone recommend a good conditioner/cleaner for leather car seats? I'm not happy with the stuff I'm using now (Meguiars) and would like something that would restore the feel and the smell of leather to my "Canyonero" (Suburban.)

"Can you name the truck with 4 wheel drive
That smells like a steak and seats 35?
Canyonero!"

[ROFL1]

Seriously, looking for something I can pick up locally. I know there are lots of other Canyonero drivers out there, so what do you use?

Lexol


I've always liked Griots Garage products.

What's the best local source for these? Auto parts places?

EDIT: NVM. Ordered from Amazon. Going to try the Lexol first and see if I like it better than the Meguiars.

I've picked up most of my stuff from Advanced Auto Parts. They usually have some coupons floating around. Amazon is a good source too if you have Prime.

Walmart May have Lexol, I think auto zone carries it also. Ballistol may be found at one of the sporting goods places?

I got my Lexol from Wally world, but it's in most parts houses too.

I clean my leather seats with woolite and a soft brush. I can’t remember what I use as a conditioner but will edit this post when I get back to my garage shelf.

Coconut Milk shampoo is what I use based off of this video:

Lexol.

Sadly I didn't keep up well enough on the side bolsters of the sport buckets in my 14 year old A6 and snagged my knife clip a few too many times... Rest of the interior is like new.

Yep. Need to find a non-snagging knife clip. I'm in the same predicament.

Lexol or nothing.
Do not use an oil based product.

I personally used Leatherique, Lexol, and Chemicalguys products.
I use lexol now due to availability and convinence. You get get Lexol 1/2gal at amazon/walmartonline/ebay for cheap.

One thing about lexol.

Do NOT set the bottle down where it can leak out onto your house carpet. It takes hours to get it out with a rug doctor.
