Question Best leather conditioner
I know that GM's leather is "Coated" with pigment (like a spray paint) instead of dyed like some other makes. Does anyone have any reccomendations for a good leather conditioner/softener for our leather. Mine is starting to get hard.

Thanks

I used the Meguiar's Gold Class leather cleaner/conditioner. I don't know how it stands up to others, but it seemed ok to me.

That's what I've been using. Recently tried the stuff from Turtle wax's platinum(sp) line and its pretty good.

ive tried a few. i liked the meguiars and the armor all. the more often you use it the softer the leather gets.

within reason. dont get out there every day or anything

Zaino is the best I have used, but Dura gloss has a good conditioner also.

Lexol is supposedly some of the best stuff out there, both they're cleaner and conditioner.

Doesn't it clog up the little holes on the perforated part of the seats. I stopped using it because of that, its too thick, but it wasn't a bad product.

Lexol cleaner first, then Lexol conditoner. Never a 2 in 1 product (cleaner/conditioner).
