which product do you recommend for leather care?

update: actually I am totally into zaino products website right now.. sounds so good that I am considering buying the whole kit for 120 bucks anytime soon lol and hope to get to do all of those this spring..
many thanks for your suggestion, probmxstyle!

No problem man, let me know how you like it. It lasts quite a long time. I usually apply it every 3 months, or whenever the leather needs it. Also, only apply it on warm leather. So do it on warm/hot days or when the heater has been on. Cold leather wont absorb the moisturizing oils.

I use Lexol and it works great.

lexol works great, the conditioner and cleaner are about $20 for both

You can use their leather conditioner on vinyl also. But it seems kind of overkill. For the dash and doors, I like Optimum Protectant or 303 Protectant. You dont want anything real shiny like armourall. That will just attract dust and dirt and hold onto it.

alright sounds good.

Armorall will dry your leather and or dash out and cause it to crack over an extended period of use. Speaking from personal experience.

I then went to a friend's upholstry shop and mentioned it to them, they indicated the same issues and no longer use that product for cleaning.

No bueno, senor

I've had good experiences with Meguiers and Mothers leather treatment products. I no longer have a leather interior though, so things may have changed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

the 120 was for a detailing kit they have. Comes with a whole line of waxes, cleaners, compounds, etc.

thats correct.. which is a good deal I think.. for bunch of stuff!

Is there anything by zainos?

i looked around and apparently they have not made anything specifically for dash or vinyl?

dove soap and pledge hears how you do it. Let it desolve for 2 complete days, in a CLEAN PLASTIC bucket with 16 ounces watter. Use a small sponge, that is easy for you to work with, and control. Squeeze out the excess water, so it doesn't run all over. Use circular & lifting motions.Work on a small section at a time. Again for control ! With patience and proper application you should be pleased.When it's clean, and I mean CLEAN, and the weather is NOT damp outside, and you have done a final damp paper- towel wipe off to rid the surface of all soap residue.... (this is important) - then, and only then - get yourself

a roll of ether VIVA or BOUNTY paper towels (the highest content of cotten paper towels, means the softest) and a can of spray PLEDGE. Spray an area no larger

then 1 person sits in, from a height of 12 inches with a fine mist spray of Pledge (Brown Can - NO **** LEMON)! Immediately (no waiting) wipe off the Pledge with the Viva paper towel, turning the towel to the dry side, or taking

new, to "wipe up" the Pledge.

which dove soap are you talking about? and which kind of pledge spray can should I do? there is bunch of different ones by pledge..

I am thinking about cleaning my leathers anytime soon,

can i clean it in cold weather or it is not recommended?

i dont have heated garage.. heated garage FTW but my place dont have heated garage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

any suggestions?

Not specifically, but on the bottle of leather conditioner, it says it can be used on other surfaces

It can be very difficult to clean leather when its cold as it will shrink in the cold and thus can trap in dirt. it is much easier to clean when its warm.
