Default Leather Conditioners.

Last summer, I picked up a bottle of Turtle Wax Leather Conditioner(spray). It's okay on the seats, I like a lotion type better. However, I came to find that the Turtle Wax Leather spray works great on dashes, door panels etc. Unlike Armor-All, it doesn't give it a greasy shiny look. It just give it a nice, clean look like it would have new.

As for lotion type leather conditioners, I love Mother's. However I cannot find it anymore, ANYWHERE!

So, I settled on Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Conditioner. Not big on it. Smells funny and looks odd. Worked OKAY...but Mother's is the best.

I have heard some good things about Lexol, but all I have seen from Lexol is sprays. For my seats, I like a lotion type.

---

So, what is your preferred leather conditioner? Have any suggestions for best results of soft, rich leather?

I'll have to give the Surf City a try. I currently use Lexol leather cleaner then follow up with their leather conditioner.

Zainos is the best and the one that smells so much like leather it will blow your mind.
And I have tried them all over the years.
