I'm looking for some feedback regarding leather conditioners for coated leather, ideally from people who have tried many different conditioners. I've been using Z-10, but as a professional I have been going through more than a bottle a week and am looking to see if there is a more affordable alternative out there, yet I still want something really good.



I've had my eye on the Griots, and the Sonus has peaked my interest somewhat...
 
The Meg's Detailer Line one is pretty good, but can come out shiny on some leathers. Optimum Protectant Plus is likewise good, but the finish so matte that somtimes it looks like nothing's been applied.
 
I don't mind the shiny part, just need something that goes on easy, hopefully does not need to be buffed off, and smells nice.
 
RAG ...From CG. They are located in Los Angeles, not far from LAX so your shipping costs should be minimal. If you have a visit planned for LA you can stop by their place and pick it up in person.

What about CG leather conditioner makes it so nice? Im really interesting in trying it, but want to know more about it. Its definitely a good deal by the gallon.
 
4* Ultimate Leather Conditioner





Works well on all leather, vinyl, plastic, and rubber surfaces. Leather scent lasts three days, low sheen for 3 weeks.
 
Runnerbl...I'm sure you can use whatever cleaner one desires...of course the PH-balanced cleaners are recommended. So yes, the Lexol cleaner would work...or you could save yourself dough and simply use a 1:10 mix of distilled water and Woolite.
 
CG's conditioner it is. Done. I'd consider other leather conditioners, but I don't know why most of these other companies don't offer their products by the gallon...it doesn't make sense.

The CG stuff smells like crap, and nauseates me, and it lingers for hours. The Meg's stuff has a lemon smell that, while also crappy, dissipates rapidly. But like I said, it can be REALLY shiny at times.
 
I used the CGLC yesterday and did not have that much of a problem with the smell. I think it smells somewhat like leather similiar to Z10 but not as strong.
 
I hope it smells good...I use Z10 primarily because of the smell, but it has simply become too expensive for me to keep using professionally.

If you like the artificial smell, then the CG stuff is decent stuff. The smell is part of the reason I no longer use #40 either.
 
I am thinking about getting the leather air freshener so when conditioner wears away I can spruce up the interior with a few mists. Anyone ever used this stuff?
