What kind of leather cleaner and conditionor do you use to treat your leather seats?

What, if anything, do you use to treat the new seals along the window and around the t-tops?

For the seals, there's a silicon spray, you can get from the parts store. I use miguires leather care for the seats.

Meguire's leather cleaner (not too often, only when they need cleaning) and Meguire's leather conditioner (about once a month)


I use a food grade silicone spray for all the weatherstripping.

Zaino Leather cleaner (Z9) & Zaino Leather conditioner (Z10) are the only products that will EVER touch my leather seats.
They work great, and ya gotta love that Zaino smell
About once every 3 weeks is all it takes for me.

I had a problem with my tops leaking. I took them apart. When you do, you will see the rubber seal had some kind if black sticky stuff to "seal" the ends. I used some white tub and tile caulk on each end and put them back together. This was 4 months ago and they haven't leaked one drop. Even tested it by spraying them directly with a high power hose at the car wash. No leaks.

For the leather seats, Zanio all the way. If Zanio didn't exist, then Lexol would be in my garage. As for the weatherstripping, I use a combo of the Z-16 tire dressing for the UV protection and for conditioning, I use Dielectric Silicone Grease (GM Part No. 12345579 or equivalent), as it states in the manual... every 6 months. You can pick up this stuff at your dealer parts counter or at www.gmpartsdirect.com. I think something in the silicone causes the strip to expand a little bit. All I can say is that it works. No leaks from my vert, used it on Mom's '99 Sebring vert to stop a leak and used it on my Blazer to stop wind leak/noise. The one thing I would NOT use is Armour All. Good luck!

Saddle soap for both cleaning the leather and for the weather stripping. It reapeals water like no other and doesnt leave a greasy mess all over

I am a believer in Lexol for the leather. Used in another car I had worked great, now using it for my formula. No complaints. Also use a silicone spray for all weather stripping on the car, including the t-tops.

Armorall on the leather.

The only tim I had a sealing problem with the t-tops the body shop made the windows go up higher to make a tighter seal.
