I have read all the sites from pinnacle, lexol, Adamspolishes, four star* wolfgang and others. But what is the best out there.

So far Im liking the Adams Leather COnditioner but what is SPF 65 ? :detective and does this make it stand out from four star, pinnacle ? also Adam States that his LC' is

QUOTE: non-greasy cream. Unlike LANOLIN-based products, Adam’s Leather Conditioner contains U.V. blocking agents and rich conditioners that leave leather rich, soft, and supple.



is Lanolin good or bad ?> :ermm:
 
While I don't know the ingredients of any of the leather conditioners, I can tell you that the 4 Star LC smells great and has kept the seats in my wife's 2000 Pontiac GTP looking like new. The car is driven every day and has about 50,000 miles on it so it isn't like it is a garage queen.
My leather care is a little different than many in that I clean it weekly, treat it with 303 weekly, (The UV protection), and use the 4 Star LC monthly.
The Pontiac has the typical GM coated leather, but it certainly doesn't look like the typical 5 year old interior.

It's the best I've ever used. Keeps new leather looking and smelling like new and old leather nice and soft.

Once I used Z-10, I have not even considered using another product on leather.

BTW, I apply it bare-handed.

I'm waiting for the poorboy's leather cleaner/conditioner. From what I've heard from preliminary tests it works on the same level as Z-10 and 4* conditioner but with cleaning ability. Also, because it's a poorboy's product it should have an addicting scent, probably it would smell something like the inside of a bentley.
 
Poorboys leather cleaner/conditioner is AWESOME, but unfortunately not yet for sale on Steve's site. My #2 choice is Leather Masters.
 
lets not all forget the mighty famous LEXOL. anytime and everytime i use it, it leaves a glow to the leather without any shine or greasy residue. as for the smell. once the leather conditioner has dried the smell is gone and actually leaves a quite nice smell in the car. a smell like leather (duh).

but i would like to have some of the poorboys leather cleaner and conditioner. i need something one step.
 
I've used all of the above mentioned and have PB test leather cleaner/conditioner....Now that I have used PB I'm hooked (just like Steve...LOL)
However the Four Star was my go to one before using PB and will go back once I run out of it. Lexol is a good one but I find it to be somewhat oily and you have to buff to keep from streaking...
The Zaino I have not used in sometime, but from what I recall the cost was the issue with me.
 
:goodluck:
As is quite often the case with "Best" of anything threads, it appears that you now have it narrowed down to about 9 choices. :)
Actually, you probably can't go too far wrong with any of them.

Connolly is some good stuff, but Lexol gets the job done too!

Connolly Hide Food works like a champ BUT is a pain the @ss to work with. It's best applied when it's nice and sunny so that you can let it "soak" into the leather material. A friend of mine used nothing but Connolly Hide Food on his '89 Accord and his leather looks impeccable for a 16 year car! Also, the smell is not exactly all that friendly.

I've ordered stuff. In the mean time, I've got access to Meguiar's Gold Class, Mothers, and Eagle One. What's the best?

Interview with Dr. Don Jenkins and Phil Meyers from Summit Industries (Manufacturer of Lexol):


Q. Now I'm confused. If all of these conditioning oils are so bad, greasy, what do you use in Lexol Leather Conditioner?

A. The conditioning oils we're talking about, Neatsfoot Oil, Lanolin, Mink Oil, pressed lard oils, are not "bad" conditioning oils. If fact, they are very good conditioning oils. They just have some undesirable characteristics. They are all greasy and they like to move around. In the 1980's, largely from our research in skin care ointments, we discovered a way to modify some of these conditioning oils. We found a way to make the large droplets of raw oils into a microscopically fine emulsion that can be readily absorbed into the leather fibers. We also found a way to keep these oils in place, to greatly reduce migration. This keeps the internal fibers lubricated longer and prevents seepage into adjacent materials like clothing. The oils used in Lexol Conditioner, a closely held secret, make for a very user friendly conditioner that is excellent for leather upholstery.

is true that lexol has an offensive odor? i was tempted to buy some but if indeed it stinks i would just go with another brand.
