Recently I remember reading a thread about cleaning leather and akimel wrote a line about the fact that he felt "water based" leather cleaners were the way to go and once you figure that out, the list of cleaners/conditioners is pretty short.
My question for Al and anyone else in the know is why is "water based" better or at least thought to be better and can someone give examples of water based cleaners and conditioners.
Currently, I am using Lexol cleaner and conditioner and I am NOT at all happy with it. I find it leaves my leather feeling "chalky" when I`m done.
I don`t see any significant "cleaning" going on, and virtually NO softeneing of the leather. In fact, because I do not like the product, I do NOT use is on my car, only wifey`s car (leather in a CR-V).
I generally get the idea that most people will agree that two products lead the way in leather care (Leatherique and Leather Masters) but I want to know why? Are they both "water based"? What makes them better than the rest?
I`ve been in this "detailing world" long enough to feel like probably the one area that lags behind everything else, is knowledge on leather care.
