Do a quick search, you will find a tremendous amount of threads on the stuff.



Unlike most people, I hate Lexol. IMO it smells like urine and it leaves seats sticky/tacky.
 
Heh heh, yeah, some people really hate the smell/feel of this stuff. I like the cleaner but only use the protectant on the dog leads/etc. not on the cars.
 
Echo...echo. I love the results, can't stand the smell. Definitely a show-stopper for me. (Funny thing was, I never really gave it much thought until a pro-detailer mentioned the scent. Then I started paying attention to it. :))
 
I like lexol for one reason and one reason only --- They specialize in leather and only leather (yes I know about vinylex). The company was founded on making leather conditioning products and that's all they do and in my never to be humble opinion they do it well. Does it have a smell? Yes, but so does a baby in dirty diapers...what product doesn't have a scent to it....it's all chemicals mixed together of course it's going to smell. The scent of lexol goes away in 2 days but I'm willing to put up with it given the results I get from the product.



If scent, odor, smell etc is a big concern for you try Chemical Guys leather conditioner, makes the car smell like new leather. But it only lasts for about 4 days... the scent that is.



Most people who use lexol don't use it correctly, I've found many spray on then wipe off and call it a day. They leave out the final "buffing" stage with the clean towel which removes a lot of the residue left behind by the excess Lexol. Another thing people don't do is warm up the interior of the car. I find the product works best after you have rolled the car out into the sun to warm up the leather some then apply and work in. Why? I don't know and i won't venture to guess since I am not an animal skin expert and god forbid I attempt to take a guess that will get this post going into a complete different direction...you've all seen it happen folks :rolleyes:
 
I've used their cleaner and conditioner, we have tons of it at my house, my mom and sister are both horse lovers and both ride.



I used to use them both as a combo, but just tried woolite in place of the cleaner and I feel like it works a little bit better. I still use their conditioner though.



I've had the sticky seat problem too, but like the person above me said, it was because I didn't do the final buffing off step. That is what makes the difference, and is very easy to do. I have to echo his thoughts on the heat too, it seems to work better in the summer for me than in the winter in the garage (notably coldeR)
 
you can have my bottle.

after I used 1Z leather on my coated leater with Prestine Clean (by Leahterique) there was

no comparing the results
 
I hate Vinylex, as mentioned above. Its not the odor for me, it is the fact that it is a sort of greas product that leaves to much of an un-natural shine after using it. I prefer the look and feel of a product like 303 and I think it protects better too.
 
vinylex is pretty shiny and leaves a bit of a greasy residue although you can also give the coated surface a wipe or two to remove some of the shine. I used to use it until i found a product with a nice matt finish.
