Question which one do you use?

Does anyone use any leather treatment products on their seats? I have always been a fan of maguires leather care. But this time I decided to try out that European brand AUTOGLYM. After to apllications it seems like my seats have a whitefilm, on some areas. Almost as id it is drying out my seats. Does anyone else have experience with this product?

I've been using Zaino leather cleaner and conditioner, plus the conditioner can double as a manly leather smelling aftershave

I have not used that, but my dealer added a Luxcare package to my interior/exterior. I don't really notice a difference, but I plan on switching (at least on my car) to Zaino products for everything.

Pointless using a conditioner, modern day leather does nothing with it - stick to putting your money and time into a good cleaner.
Zaino ain't bad, but Leatherique may be worth looking at.
Griot's Garage might be another to consider - if their leather cleaner is as good and fragrant as their Speed Detailer.
Autoglym is a mediocre brand, much in the same vein as Meguiar's.

I've been using Griot's leather cleaner n conditioner (both in 1 bottle) for a while, works like a charm.
Leave it over night to penetrate and everywhere you applied will be soft and supple without any residues, and it smells pretty nice.

I use a 10:1 mixture of water and Woolite in a spray bottle to clean the leather and then generously apply Lexol to condition it. Looks and feels like new.
