The single FINEST product you can purchase to clean, maintain and restore Leather is from a company called LEATHERIQUE. Owners of the world's finest automobiles and true classics swear by this stuff. I have used it successfully since I was first introduced to it myself about 10 years ago.

Here is their website: http://www.leatherique.com/

Please know I have ZERO connection with this company. I am just another 1 of their many 1000's of Satisfied Customers.

Good Luck, Mikey Lulejian - Lake Oconee, GA

I briefly used Lexol on Lexus Leather several years back. Now I stay away from it because of the strong weird smell. Now I use some other brand.

I have used lexol since we bought the car back in 2000.... Check out this thread I made and tell me if you think it worked. And I waxed the car every 3 months and did the Lexol cleaner and conditioner on it every 3 months as well... SO if this isn't a long term test on the stuff, I don't know what is.

So I think Leatherique is the way to go in my eyes.... I have seen nothing but amazing reviews about it.

Can't do much for cracks on the leather seats so don't have too high of an expectation. Most of our leathers are coated anyhow. Personally, I used Lexol and didn't like the smell. I next moved on to Leatherique and didn't like how much time it took and how it made the seats feel sticky at times. Now I'm using Leather Masters and very happy as it doesn't leave much of a scent and it is pretty quick. The protectant they have is excellent as well
