what do you guys use to clean/ condition the leather in your cars? a few friends recommended MEGUIAR'S LEATHER CLEANER/CONDITIONER WIPES and it turned out to be a nightmare. There is greasy residue left on seats and trim. I gave it a few days figuring maybe it would soak in to the leather but its still blotchy in a lot of places and i need a way to clean up the mess. what do you guys suggest will clean up the greasy residue and what can i use in the future to clean/condition the leather?

nobody????

 

I use Armor All wipes on the leather and dash and they work great for me.

 

Recently I switched from that to Eagle One Nano leather cleaner and condtioner. I like it better and it is easier to apply.

 

did you also experience the greasy residue? if so how did you clean it off? i don't want to wing it and make it worse so i'm hoping i can find someone who has had this issue before.

 

Hmm, I used the Meguire leather cleaning/conditioner in the bottle. There was some initial barely noticeable streaking but after a week or so it went away and the seats look great.

 

There was a bit of a residue but not as bad and as greasy as the meguire's and the residue doesn't seem to last as long. It also seems to fill/soak it in better.

 

thanks for the help

 

Turbo Wax LVR, Leather Vinyl & rubber. Brilliant stuff, and it leaves a nice new car smell, without being ott. It lasts really well, it actually soaks in, and the bonus is you can use it on the vinyl and rubber too.

I use that stuff too, it rocks!

Don't use Amor All on your dash, after time it will cause it to crack

 

i ordered lexol cleaner spray and conditioning spray. should get them this week via ups and i'll give you guys an update. thanks to everyone for the input

 

Please let us know how that work for you, I ask because not long ago I try their wipes and it was a huge mess with little results.

 

^^^^ now you've got me scared to use it. if this goes wrong i think i will look into swapping out my leather for the microfiber seats available in other Legacy trim models

 

Don't be scared, it was just my experience, some products work well for some but no for others, I try other products before I replace my seats,lol

 

yea i was being a little dramatic about swapping the seats but you did kinda strike some fear into me about trying some new product. worst case scenario is i'm back where i started

 

Most of the time everyone has "concerns" about a new product, worst case give us a try on our leather care, I put the "If not 100 % happy return the product and your money back"

 

i tryed the lexol cleaner on all seats and trim and the rag showed some dirt so it definitly cleaned and left no residue at all. the leather didn't get that greasy shine either which i was very happy about. then i used the lexol conditioner on all seats and trim and i must say i was very impressed. once again no residue or shine left behind.

Overall Review: the lexol spray cleaner and lexol spray conditioner worked great. easy to apply, no foul odors, and it kept the leather looking the way leather should look. I will surely use these products for eternity or until someone can prove to me there is something better i should be using.

To Turbo Wax: thank you for your interest and concern. i recommend you give these lexol products a try, because i'm very picky when it comes to what i use on my car and lexol just cnvinced me to buy their products.

 

Those are good news we are always up to the challange, so if you want FREE of charge I can send you our LVR and our prototype leather cleaner and you can test them and do a review and post it here for us, fair and square Lets get it on !

 

now that i found a product that works and i am extremely happy with you want me to try something else? the nerve of you!!! j/k. i will gladly try your products and post a review. i would've posted before and after pics of what the meguirs did to my leather and before and after of the lexol but i didn't think of it until now. so a review and a before and after pics are a deal.

 

+ 1!!!!!!!!!! Not one of my fav products of all time.

 

i use turtle wax ice interior conditioner, i love it the only down tside is you have to be so carefull when you apply it or else it looks like you just buted a nut while cleaning your car

 

That's a bit of downside.

 

How is the back seat holding out ?

 

your telling me, every one walks around in my neighborhood, they'll see me over there kneeled down by my car with a bunch of white stuff in between my fingers lol, it is a geat product though smells good also
