Leather + Leather Conditioners

[kuslamb]

Thanks for all the responses. I ordered some of each product listed, and will mix them all together and see how it goes...

But really, I ordered some Adam's brand stuff.

For how long

 

[THE YETI]

until I get used to the smell and redo it again

until I get used to the smell and redo it again

I meant the smell last like a week or just a 2 days or so

Meguiars last only like 1-2 days max.

Being in AZ, I have been frustrated with the appearance of the leather in every car I have owned after a couple years. From the research I have done, the consensus is that keeping the leather clean is all you can really do. Apparently all of the newer vehicles have some type of surface treatment that prevents *********** of any conditioners. Any products for conditioning I have tried previously seem to simply make the surface greasy/slick until I used enough elbow grease to rub it all off the surface (didn't seem as though it actually penetrated the leather itself).

I would be interested in any input from someone in the southwest regarding a product that actually keeps the leather from drying out.

You are correct


Its coated leather. Almost like clear coat for paint.

Heard good stuff about this before though

It's a lot longer than 1-2 days.

I use Meguiar's Gold class leather cleaner and condtioner. Worked like a charm right before I traded in my Avalanche. Hell I use this stuff on my leather couch to protect it.
