Leather Conditioner - Which one?

I will be paying like $1500 for a new custom 2-tone leather seat interior and so I naturally want to do whatever it takes to ensure the leather remains feeling and looking new for YEARS to come.

Out the following (or add your own), which would be the BEST Leather Conditioner to use? Why that particular one? I would like that SOFT, feeling, and with a nice shine.

- Mothers Conditioner
- Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Aloe Conditioner
- Meguiar's Gold Class Cleaner & Conditioner
- Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Aloe Cleaner & Conditioner
- Armor All Leather Care

Any pro's/Con's from using a Leather Conditioner SPRAY as apposed to a pour out liquid?

Thanks

I used Zaino Leather conditioner for at like $18.95cdn a bottle which is only 8oz, that does not last very long compared to most 16oz bottles for HALF that $$ amount.

American Dollar Pricing... but anyway:

Z-9 Leather Cleaner: $7.95.
http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...ory_Code=Zaino

Z-10 Leather Treatment: $10.95.
http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...ory_Code=Zaino

I don't mind paying a few bucks more for a product I like... and It lasts long enough for me... never had an issue.

Also, the Z-9 can also be used ot clean dash and vinyl as well, so I get double duty from it.

I've used Zaino, Meguiar's all-in-one and Meguiar's two step aloe. I prefer the two-step Meguiar's with aloe of the three.

Re: Leather Conditioner - Which one?

Always use a TWO step cleaner and separate conditioner, the all in ones are not as good as a true two step...

Try whatever you decide to use on a small spot. I used "another" product once on new GM "pleather" and it took the dye out. Company was nice about it and paid for a new seat cover but since I found Zaino I don't use anything else.

I prefer the Meguiar's two-step as well. I think it works very well

Re: Leather Conditioner - Which one?

I use Lexol on my custom 2 tone leather. It works great for me just make sure you use a true 2 step not an all-in-one!
