Best Leather Treatment?

Intel: Have you used 4* and Leatherique and prefer Pro's? Or is that just what you use?

Same for brwill: Have you compared leatherique to 4* and Griot's (or others)?

I have some old neglected leather that is feeling very tough. Something that will soften it up is what I am looking for. The leatherique sounds like it might fit the bill. I have 4* and if it is going to soften this leather it is going to take many aplications. I don't want to knock it though. I think the 4* is good stuff.
I am just looking for something a little tougher on leather that hasn't been treated for several years.
 
Gnev8- I believe Leatherique is the product to use if the leather is very old and tough. The rejuvenator oil softens the leather and expels the dirt. The pristine clean cleaner is used after the oil to wipe away all of the contaminants that the oil has expelled. Remember, leatherique is considered a restoration product, so I think it will do the job for you. I have never used 4* so I can not speak on it, however, I used Griots once or twice and it worked OK I guess. Sorry it was a long time ago.
 
I use Water: Woolite (6:1) to clean.

Then 4* Leather Conditioner to condition. I love the smell (leathery), consistency (relatively thin), look (satin sheen), and feel (soft and not sticky) compared to Lexol.

I have only used PRO. It has worked and still works for me quite well, I can get it locally, and it's not too expensive.

I may in the future try some other leather products.
 
I have only tried Leatherique, Lexol, and Mothers.
Leatherique is not just a restoration product, it's a maintainance conditioner as well. My 04' TL did not need restoring, but the seat leather was starting to feel stiffer and was starting to crease. Cotton clothes wick moisture and natural oils from leather, even plastic coated pontiac leather. Mothers and Lexol failed to restore the oils and thus softness and remove creasing. Only leatherique did it (an well I might add. The softer leather is a pleasure to sit on and feels like a big pillow as I sink into it. I love it.
Charles: I believe my leather (as all modern leathers are) coated, so I'd say a big YES!
Give it a try!
