What's the best leather treatment for almost new leather?

Thanks Deanski for the advice. I will do that Woolite mixture. It sounds worthwhile. I trust your Lexus judgment. :xyxthumbs

After many tests of many products, I've always revert back to Woolite for cleaning. Even carpets can be done and if using an extractor, it dries quick. You'd be surprised what's in the tank!



Even heavy soil can be removed, just up the Woolite! One of the safest ways to clean leather that is coated as most are today.



Ecru looks great, but man is it a PITA to keep clean! More so once the top is down!! Seems there is a fine dust that just gets sucked into the backseat area. I'd love one of those covers like I saw in Japan for the Soarer (SC430). It's like the old English ones used to cover the spare seats. This covers the rear seats up to the front seat backs and gives you a protected storage area.



I use all of my leather treatments that I have now for leather in the home. Only Woolite and Zaino are needed for auto leather unless it's as dry as a old Chamois, then it's time for Leatherique.

Deanski
 
Woolite and water to clean and I've been using the Turtle Wax Spray Leather Cleaner and Conditioner for treating the leather. It has a light leather scent, soaks into the leather very quickly and leaves a very mild sheen. In addition, since it is a thin liquid, it won't clog the holes in ventilated seats.



Most Turtle Wax products are average at best, but their leather conditioner is excellent.
 
I'd never heard of using Woolite on leather seats before reading this thread. I decided to give it a try. I diluted it 1 to 6 and put it in a spray bottle. I only had a vegitable brush because I forgot to get anything else, but the experiment went very well. I cleaned our 1996 chev pu seats and although it didn't look like it was doing much, I was impressed with the result. I ran out of time today so tomorrow I will apply the Lexol which is all I have on hand. This is sure a great place to learn these neat little tricks.



Thanks!

Ggrrrr ... another product to buy and try! :lol



Do you find it works well on all leather types? Can you compare it to other conditioners you have used? Thanks.
 
I use Woolite and Zaino's Leather in a Bottle on my Lexus LS430 with a light interior with excellent results. The leather smell lasts at least 6 weeks. Also use it on my 91 Reatta Convertible and 77 Excalibur. Over the years have tried a multiplicity of products and have yet to find any combination that is easier, works as well and smells great.

Bill: Can you compare Spinneybeck to Lexol? I used Lexol for many years so it is a common point of reference between us. Thanks.:D

No, I was hoping someone here would be able to do that. I'm very surprised no one other than some on roadfly know about/have use it :nixweiss
