Leather seats care questions?

Just a general question since the seats in my 02 look really good.
So far: I have tinted my windows, I park in my garage when not at work, and I lastly have been using Armor All Leather Wipes for a month or so to keep them clean.

Question though: Is there another brand I should use, or will the Armor All Brand Wipes be fine. If they aren't fine, what brand conditioner & cleaner, how often should it be used, and where to get it?

Thanks!

Re: Leather seats care questions?

I worked as a Auto detailer throughout high school at a detailer that had the reputation of being the best. No cheap 125 dollar details here. Most ranged from 300 - 500 for drivers and had some way higher for the car shows.

We tried almost all of the products out there and as far as leather went we never found anything better than Lexol. We bought it from a horse saddle dealer cause it was the cheapest.

Here is a link.

Agreed. Wipes are for spills. True leather care is saddle soap and conditioner. Lexol is indeed the best. And smells great.

oh and how often. Your hands know. Keep the leather soft. Clean every other month or so unless you party hard in your car. Just look at it. If it looks or feels dry, condition.

Re: Leather seats care questions?

I use Meguiar's Cleaner and conditioner on my white leather seats. Works great, cleans um good. I do it about once a month or when they look dirty. Try to get a brand that has a 2 step cleaner, much better, one to clean, the other to condition. Much Better results that way. I'd probably stick with Lexol, like Flaminchiten67 says, or Meguiar's. Both are 2 step.
