not happy with meguires leather pads

i used this to clean and condition, but it left a filmy residue everywhere, so i took a damp cloth and got rid of most of it, i didnt have time to do a better job but ya, i think next time i clean the leather parts im just gonna use water and a cloth... just had to rant a bit lol, later.

Meguires products suck. Like I said, there's nothing like a Mothers shine!

I use the Gold Class stuff, not the wipes, and put them on with old shoulder pads out of blouses, I like that method a lot better because the product actually gets worked into the leather, MUCH better way to get it clean.

I use the Gold Class stuff to ( spray ) and a cloth, works beautifuly, but remember it the wipes, 1 wipe is good for the entire seat, I've used one wipe for the hole back seat before.

but the spray stuff is way better. IMO

I regularly use Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Cleaner/Conditioner. What the instructions say is to apply a small amount, massage it in, then with a separate cotton towel remove the left overs. I follow those directions and have great results every time! I use it on every leather portion of my car.

Use the Armora All leather conditioner. It comes in a brown skinny bottle, can't miss it. You can get it anywhere. It works nicely, dries quick and it leaves a nice smell in the car. Later....

well considering i work at a detailing shop and all we use is meguiars products, i would have to disagree with you and say they are not ****. They are clearly the best products for anything on your car if you use them right. Although mothers would deff. be an alternative. BTW, dont use anything armor all because it fades the leather over time.

I think meguires professional products are the **** , and the new NXT wax and qwik detailer ...but , their newer commercial products suck . The worst new products from Meguires are their leather wipes , the conditioning gel and cream . All the new stuff , even though it says no shine , leaves everything all shiney ......GROSS

When I use conditioner , the old school meguires gold class cleaner/conditioner cream blows their new stuff away . Its in a big black 14 oz bottle with a tan leather seat on it . ITs the only one that doesnt leave my seats shiney and greasy looking . Mostly though , I just use Distilled bottled water , with a very slight amount mild dishsoap to wipe mine down . Keeps my seats looking great , and the leather has a nice UN-shiney appearence like they are new . I use distilled water because , the minerals in normal tap water always seem to leave a whitish like build up over time .
