Question Best leather cleaner..

I want something that works good, moisturizes and cleans, but isnt all slippery..Also, do all leather cleaners have that leather smell to it like the meguires does ?

Lexol leather cleaner and leather conditioner have always worked well for me. They dont smeel like leather IMO, but it is the only thing I will use on my Italian Leather Couch.

+1

I tried a lot of leather cleaners and conditioners before and only Lexol does the job for me. Basically no smell, actually cleans the leather without stripping color, and conditioner that actually works instead of just making it all slippery. Lexol only specializies in leather so they really know what they are doing.

Here's a quick pic of what i use. That Meguairs leather spray doesn't work well.

only light cleaners will preserve that leather smell. There are products that smell like leather themselves for people like you who like that leather smell.One that i can think on top of my head is Armor All leather cleaner. It works pretty but the conditioner barely lasts a week IMO. The protection wears off fast if you park your car in the sun or sit in the car a lot.

try the lexol. The smell is non exhistent which will keep the smell of your leather. I just cleaned and conditioned my leather yesterday because i'm about ot go on vacation. Works very well on the 350z leather. remember you have to buy the cleaner and teh conditioner. I think i bought each for 12 bucks a bottle.

some people use it but i just use the 303 on my dash and plastic. It smells not so great. I'm on a second bottle that 303 sent me because my first one smelled horrible but his one smells the same..just not as bad. I would never put 303 on my leather. I asked 303 themselves if it's ok to put on leather. They said it should be ok but that's not really what it's meant for. I just use real leather conditioner to prevent cracking.

it's around 15 shipped from teh zainostore . Yes, cleaner and conditioner. I would say it's more of a conditioner though because it doesn't have great cleaning abilities.

turtle wax spray leather cleaner is the best I have used. It cleans the leather, is not slippery, conditions the leather, and I even put it on my steering wheel so it doesnt fade. And it smells VERY good.
