Default Meguiars Leather Cleaner/Conditioner

I have the Meguiars Leather Cleaner that has Conditioner in it. Would it be better to use the one with both Cleaner/Conditioner or them seperate? Thanks

If you want to retain the smell of your leather, I would go with the Zaino "cleaner", followed by their "Leather in a Bottle". Two + year and some 35,000 miles and it still smells like it did when I drove it home.

i only use mother's conditioner... unless your leather is really dirty, just use a damp cotton cloth to wipe it down and follow up with the conditioner to keep it supple

it's great at keeping the leather soft/conditioned, but doesn't smell as nice as the more expensive products... I'll likely try lexol or zaino the next time around to get that "like new" smell

I'm not a fan of the megs conditioner/cleaner since it's very thick and it clogs the poors, they end up looking all white and it's next to impossible to get them out. I like the mothers one better, use the conditioner (it has some cleaners in it) once a month and cleaner only on hard to get out stains. It also doesn't clog like megs does.

I have no problem with it clogging pores or making it not smell nice. I like the way it makes the seats smell. The only thing is that my leather seats seem to be stress cracking easyliy even through they look like brand new and are not faded. I don't know what to do. I never let the sun touch them, and its not like I drive the car alot to put the stress marks on them. Only 7000 miles on the car. THinking of taking the car to the dealer to get them to replace it since I have the interior warranty. I would use Zaino, but I don't really trust them now, and Meguiars is a proven company.

my leather isnt really dirty,(having under 4000 miles), but was wondering what i should use to clean it and keep it like new. Ive used leather cleaners and wipes in the past and all it has done was make it glossy and seemingly soft. i wasnt really a fan of that so i havent used anything on my Z, except a damp cloth. I just want it looking and smelling like new not greasy. thank in advance.

I use the same product and gives the interior a new leather smell. I have almost 24k miles. The condition of the leather is like new. Getting in and out of the car I dont put pressure on the bolsters.
