Some of the seats in my MM are feeling pretty dry, what is the most moisturizing conditioner y'all have used?
 
I've seen what happens to leather after a long time exposed to the sun when I frequent the pick n pulls. So I constantly wipe my seats down with Armor all and other brands.

Everyone laughed at me when I got the seat covers from seatcovers unlimited. I think they look fine but some said they were fugly. Anyway, it covers the original leather just fine and hopefully protects the original seats from wear and the sun.
 
I use Lexol in both vehicles, since it's a separate cleaner and conditioner. I usually keep some brand of leather wipes in the vehicle too for oops.
 
I had found that Eagle One Leather Conditioner worked best. I used it religiously on the leather in my 79 Mark V and they look the same as when I bought it in 92...but I beleive they have discontinued this. I'm down to the last 2 bottles...
 
Ive had
meguires: good stuff, slippery after application
Croftgate: not impressed, too much money
Zymol: good stuff, i like the cleaner better than than the conditioner
Griots garage: Awesome! Leaves seats slightly tacky for a day or so, but after that they are very soft, smells like new leather for atleast a week! Advanced auto carries it now, so its easy to obtain.

Thank you all for your input. I agree, ArmourAll ruined the dashboard on my 96 Impala SS. So it looks like any of the quality name brands out there will work just fine... I was kind of hoping someone knew one that was better at bringing leather back from stiff to soft and pliable again. I need one that is more of a "restore" rather than "maintenance"

Try griots garage, its like a lotion that really moisturizes/conditions the leather, Ive heard it helps to warm up the leather to open its pores...i turn the cars heat on in the winter as im doing it.
 
Ok I guess I'll try to griots garage, I can let it sit for a few days so that won't be a problem.

Jwibbity, slippery like slimey or soft slippery?
 
As Jim stated never use Armorall on any leather products!!:shake:

All products with natural oils and Lanolin are fine but some cause short term stickiness!!:(

+1 vote for Lexol.

Cleaner and Conditioner....

Been using it for years on my car's leather seats.
All my cars with leather seats, even with 200,000 miles on them, look brand new.
 
Griot's Leather Care Spray from AdvanceAutoParts is now my 1st choice; as it looks good, does the job, feels good to the touch, and is less slippery than Meguiar's Gold Class Conditioner.
cromer
 
Lexol or chemical guys leather conditioner.
