Leather cleaner???

Looking for a good leather cleaner and conditioner that won't leave the leather all greasy... I could probably use same cleaner on the carbon leather trim. Any suggestions? Thanx

I've been using Lexol for many years with no complaints and great results.

I have used Lexol with good results. I am now using Gliptone, and like it as well. Both the cleaner and conditioner. Leaves a nice matte finish too.

Check out Leather Masters cleaner and conditioner http://www.leatherworldtech.com/Depa...ning-Kits.aspx. It doesn't leave the greasy film after use.

Best I have ever used is Leatherique (you can find website via google). It would clean and restore the Dove gray interior in my old e36 M3 like new. they have a cleaner product and a restorer product. Get both.

I use the lexol cleaner and conditioner. Just read the directions and you will no have a oil slick on the leather.

Leather masters is very good and have used it for years. Heard great things about the swissvax as well.

My only issue with leathers masters is all the steps and you need a certain temperatures at times for it to work its best.

I also have used pinnacle for a quick cleaner. Doesn't remove the due from the leather and very safe and easy to use.

I would stay away from Wolfgang. I found it way too abrasive and would leave a white residue. Even though they say its for German cars I did not like the results.
