Two caveats, just second-hand info but it's from people I trust:
- Wear gloves. Some people (including somebody who doesn't consider their skin sensitive) have had nasty reactions to Leatherique (and I don't mean just some mild irritation).
- Do a test spot first. A mid-'70s Jag that had a leather steering wheel cover that did *NOT* respond well to Leatherique. When I use it on the XJS I'm not gonna use it on my steering wheel because of this one.

idk about that the conditioner is the sh!t on hands, better than anyother lotion or moistureizer ive ever used.

I expect it's another YMMV thing... note that some people can have horrible reactions to moisturizers or anything else. I forget if it was the RO or the PC that caused a problem for the person (also forget who it was) but just wanted to pass it along in case somebody could benefit from the heads-up.

Re: Product Review: Leatherique Leather System
Do you wipe off or clean off the REJUVINATOR OIL after it has been allowed to dwell for a period of time before using the PRESTINE CLEAN?
Pretty impressive results...

Re: Product Review: Leatherique Leather System
Todd - excellent info. Thanks.
Have you ever tried to use a real steamer to clean leather/vinyl?

Re: Product Review: Leatherique Leather System
Awesome writeup Todd. This looks like a very impressive product. After our discussions on it this looks like another product that I want to try this year.

I use steam to clean leather. I use a Desidero, it cleans extremely well, you just need to be concerned that it could damage vinyl. While I don't have enough time booked with it, I wonder if it is introducing unnecessary stress to the leather? I steamed my 3 month old leather Jeep seats this week as I spilled 10lbs of linguine and clam sauce in the back seat. No damage from the steamer, the seats still look new.
I steamed a Nissan Altima interior and the door panel vinyl felt "gummy" while I was steaming. Maybe I heated up the glue that holds the vinyl to the panel? There was no damage, but I could see a potential problem if I left the steam on there too long.

Re: Product Review: Leatherique Leather System
I haven't used leathermasters (which was asked earlier) and I have used a steamer. Since leatherquie cleans everything out (so just as well) and restores the conditoners, IMO, it wins hands down.

Have you used connolly? I have it but I do not have leatherique. They are both around the same price, connolly is actually higher cost per oz. because you only get 8oz but it is a paste rather than a liquid.

Nice write-up, but you're missing some info everyone will want to know...
How does Leatherique perform on a Marauder interior?
Just cuz I love ya, I'll volunteer my car for beta-testing purposes...
