Griot's has some great smelling, quality leather cleaner/conditioners. Give them a try. The leather smell will last several weeks after you apply

There are more Leather cleaners, conditioners, balms, etc etc than one can count.

Going with one of the known brands gets you about the same effect.
My wife loves the Griots, whereas I prefer more of a shine on my leather afterward (Yeah, yeah I know)
Been using Pinnacle Products for YEARS and just ordered their premium Black Line of Leather Care. It got some pretty rave reviews and claims to bring back that leather smell we all loved when we first sat in out cars. I shall see - and post results if anyone cares.

As I just stated on another Leather Thread. Just bought the Leatherique Package Deal

AG had it for ANOTHER 25% off during Memorial Day -so think its a grab.
Read many reviews on both Cleaner & Conditioner and willing to give anything a shot.

cheap isn't always good, but I agree Lexol is ok its just way too greasy for my taste, I like a matte look and feel not the oily stuff.

Dropped the ball on that one, gonna give it a shot since I heard so many great reviews on it. I hope it smells ok at the minimum because thats important to me.

Not sure how much you use, but I don't usually have a problem with it being too oily or shiny. That's the reason why I always go back to it.

I also use it on my leather shoes because it doesn't darken the leather either.

Thumbs up That "New Car Leather"

We've all seen those Air Fresheners that say "New Car Smell" which are totally NOT what we've experienced right?

I know this memorable scent HAS to come from Leather Treatment since that is what gives off such an aroma!
Yes, I agree with you K20- Product smell has a lot to do with purchase preference to me as well.. I have NOT had the chance to tackle anything with this new "Leatherique" potion, but will let ya know how it comes out-and smells!
Like you said, it DOES have many great reviews which are important to me.

Brand Loyalist or not, I seriously believe that AutoGeek has a VERY good Forum where they test hundreds of great products, and give an unbiased account of them. Another great site for this is "Detailed Image" which seems to like their certain Brands though. IMHO AutoGeek is not partial to just 1 or 2 of them. But the ones it seems they do like cost the most (For Example: the Pinnacle Black Series) Which I just bought some of.


HEY- that Reminds me, anyone needing some goof Microfiber Towels should get on there TODAY if you are reading this!! They have 30% off ALL Microfiber Materials!!
