Better than Lexol

i have used lexol on the seats of my girlfriends Lincoln Aviator and i must say its the worst . it does smell and the tackyness of it is present.i only used it as an emergency on a quick interior detail i did for her before she went out one night. Normall i use a home made leather cleaner with microfibers and finish it off with Tanners preserve. This conditioner is by far the absolute top quality and the smell of it is pure leather. Tanners works so well on alot of leather because they are the company who makes alot of the leathers found in todays newer vehicles including ford and ford products . the king ranch edition trucks from ford-the leather is tanners. they also make chamois. I love tanners and i will never use anything else no matter what the emergency. I only know that tanners make alot of the leathers becuase i worked forford lincoln mercury and jaguar for quite some time . i like it try it out .
 
Everything is better than Lexol. I'd rather condition my leather with runny monkey poo. At least the car would smell better than if I used lexol. And saying 'runny monkey poo' is being generous. I didn't want to offend by saying what I really wanted to describe it too. Nor did I want the questions about how I knew what it smelled like. :rolleyes:
 
wow! im assuming all of u who havde had bad experience with lexol have coated leather. not having used it on coated leather i wouldnt know but the smell is bareable, and quickly goes away on my uncoated leather seats. it leaves no tacky, shiney, slippery, greasy look or feel to it at all.

poorboys natural look would be a good idea for u guys, but i heard its no good on uncoated leather.

mind u i drive a 2006 bmw 330i which isnt something rare so i doubt my lether is special...

sometimes i dont even buff off and little drips and drops of lexol are absorbed and blended in pefectly.

these are my seats treated with lexol... the little sheen u can actually see is actually caused by the flash.
 
I have an '05 330xi and it has similar leather. I don't like Lexol because it stinks. When I say "stinks" I mean it. It smells like the sweaty butt crack of a prison inmate. There are so many better products out there than lexol. Even off the shelf you can do better. I would buy Zymol before I touched Lexol. It may be excellent leather conditioner, but it is not better than Zymol and Zymol smells better. So guess which one would grace the interior of my car? Well, neither since I use Zaino, but that is beside the point. lol
 
Leyland, I don't know how you know what an inmate's sweaty rear end smells like, and I really don't want to know, but I'll thank you to be a little less colorful in your descriptions if you wouldn't mind. We have children present.

doesnt make much difference but we have a 2003 bmw 325 int he driveway which is actually coated. its the e46 model which is the same as u're 2005 330xi in regards of manufacturers model, so i dont quite think u're leather would be the same as this.

the only reason i push lexol onto my seats is because although it smells horrible, but tolerable, i feel that the smell means theres special preservatives and moisterizers in it that soften the leather.

but the idea of it on a coated leather seat makes me thing that the product would just sit on top rather than absorb.
