Perforated Leather

[mbailey]

Can anyone recommend a leather cleaner/conditioner that applies and dries clear? I have a black interior with mostly perforated leather seats, sidepanels, dash etc. Using normal cleaners results in a white dried residue becoming trapped in the perforations

Lexol conditioner is white, but it is very thin, almost watery. If you were to put it on a cloth and then wipe it on your seats, I doubt that it would leave any white residue. Be sure to buff it off as per the instructions. Lexol cleaner is not something I have ever used, so I'm no help with it.
Right now, I am trying a Woolite solution for cleaning my leather and vinyl. Mixed at a ratio of 6 parts water to 1 part Woolite. This mixture has been discussed on a couple of detailing and boating boards, so I thought I would give it a try. Too early for any opinions just yet.

Lexol Leather Cleaner is great stuff, just wipe it on (use a good leather brush if you have it), and then wipe it with a damp water cloth, and then wipe it dry. This takes a little while, so if someone asks me to CLEAN their leather instead of just conditioning it, I charge a little extra ($10).
