Best Leather Conditioner

Megs has a leather combo a two step that I have been using and works well and not the costly. Leather looks brand new after u use it
 
My favorite combo is Leather Masters as a base and maintain with Mothers VLR. LM seems to leave the seats less slippery than most product. I have not seen any leather conditioner product have any magic properties (make it supply) on coated leather in good condition. I think some of the "suppleness" is related to slick coating left by a conditioner.
 
I've been using Optimum for a while now with good results. Just now learning of the different types of leather and what is needed in each case.
 
Has anyone tried the 4Star conditioner or cleaner(professional Series)? I believe Garry Dean used these in some of his videos. I would like to know some more opinions on this set.

For some reason I can't find them on the four star site anymore either, they were under the professional line.
 
Leatherique is a fine two part system as is Lexol. The Lexol cleaner is quite a bit stronger, IMO. I have been testing a new product I also found via a local tack store, Leather CPR. It is a creamy (comes in a tube) one-step that amazingly does an excellent job of cleaning and conditioning. I first tested it on a really dirty pair of boots. I brushed the bulk of the dirty off with a horsehaired boot brush and them following the directions applied a small dot to a sponge (also purchased at the tack store - designed for cleaning leather tack) and worked into the boots. After working the product in, I changed sponges and repeated the process. The amount of dirt and grime on the sponge was impressive. I followed with a wipe with a cotton cloth and finally a brushing. Two thumbs up.
 
I have been using Leatherique for several years and am very happy with it. I have also used their service to match dye colors.

My first experience with Leatherique was on my wife's XC90. Came across it via another forum. My only prior experience with leather cleaner/conditioner was Lexol. The Leatherique worked wonders on the XC. It really looked like the Pristine Clean removed alot of soil/contaminants and the Rejuvenator Oil left the cream colored leather looking and feeling great. Only downside is it took approx. 5 hours from start to finish.

However, I didn't experience the same results on my 3 series BMW.

The bimmer has black leather and it is much more grainy. It looked somewhat cloudy when I was done; especially the the door panels and the piece that runs horizontally where the lock button sits.

Still would like to know how to tell what's leather and what's vinyl in a car :dunno:
 
I have very good success with Adam's Polishes Leather Cleaner and following that up with the Pinnacle Leather Conditioner. The cleaner is strong so I first spray the product on a damp white terry cloth rag and then gently rub over the seats. Removes blue jean dye transfer with very light agitation. Expensive but yields a wow result - imo.

Any particular reason you don't use Adam's leather conditioner as well?
 
Not really. I somehow got a sample of the Adams leather cleaner recently but have been using the Pinnacle conditioner for several years. So I haven't been "looking" for another conditioner but have been on a quest for a quality leather cleaner. Must have 5-6 different leather cleaners in the cabinet, all worthless. Have u had any experience with the Adam's Conditioner and if so, what's your opinion?
