Not to jack the thread, but do you all think the Lexol leather cleaner and leather conditioner would work well with white leather?

Should you spray any kind of protection on afterwards?

Thanks.

EDIT: Oops! I went to the Lexol website and saw that Vinylex is the protectant! So, brown, orange, and blue bottle!

They also show an off-white couch in one picture, so I'm good.

Personally I've tried a few things available at parts stores. What I've found works best for my cars is a nice cleaning/treating with saddle soap. Follow that up with a nice coat of mink oil. Make the leather nice and soft. I bought my car used with about 44K on it. Like I said I tried several products readily available at parts stores. Finally in June on my dad's recommendation I tried the saddle soap/mink oil method. WOW!!! The white towel I was using for the saddle soap was coming up black from all the crap on my seats. I think part of the reason I could tell such a difference in the cleanliness of the seats is because I have neutral/tan interior. Cost wise IMO it can't be beat. Less than $2 for the can of saddle soap and the same deal for mink oil. No chemical smells either. After a treatment the car smells like leather. Oh yeah, and the leather is like a teenager's thigh on prom night.

Saddle soap and mink oil can be picked up at Wal-Mart or any similar store.

I find that skimpy dressed strange blondes picked up at random tend to work magic on those seats!
