I use Meguires leather cleaner and conditioner not sure how great it is though.It has softened my leather a bit and looks great when first applied but I just get the feeling there is something better...........I'm going to keep watching this!

Lexol is the best for long term preservation. I have been using the Turtle Wax ICE interior for cleanups and it really works great.

I just use the Armor All leather cleaner that comes in a brown squeeze bottle once every few months...it works pretty well I guess; it makes my leather look a lot better

I got some lexol to clean my seats mainly the backs of the front driver and pass seat, thanks to the previous owners they are *near* stained with cig smoke... and I was told that would get it off, I originally used armoral whipes on them and gave up after an hour and only getting a small portion of it off.
Anyone know of somethng that will return my seats to grey *this side of bleach*.. presently a greenish color only on the backs of the front seat. like it gets more grey as you get closer to the fronts.
Btw, I was reccomended to use the lexol. *tan bottle not dark brown* to clean my seats.

For all my Swedish leather, I've tried a number of conditions. None of them really soften the leather but one.

I would simply use good old fashioned Saddle soap from the local horse suppliers it is far better than any car leather cleaner
