after much anticipation, i finally bought the lexol cleaner and conditioner.

boy a boy my leather seats were dirty because at the edge where the seat meets the back, every wipe is a brown smudge of dirt and debris on white towel

however, after i cleaned and conditioned, the next morning, i didnt see any difference as before?
does lexol need multiple use before changes can be seen? am i not using enough?
also, what kind of material should i be using to wash/clean/condition?

so far, it's a big disappointment because i see NO DIFFERENCE (except knowning inside its cleaner than before).

 

Got to clean it more often. After all those years and you expect to get all clean with one wipe? Why don't you try to clean one portion of the seat and leave the other portion alone. Check it tomorrow to see the difference.

 

I have had good luck with using a very SOFT tootbrush on leather to clean it. Do not use a hard brush. Nice circular overlapping orbits works well. Again in a small area at at time. I have not however used the Lexol cleaner but have used the Meguires' brand. My driver seat needs another working on!

 

yes, i think i do need to clean it more. i actually left the rear seats alone, and i can't tell the difference between the front and the back.

however, i was expecting a dark rich leather found on lexol.com

boy was i dreaming

 

My rear seats were clean only the front seats were dirty. I did use the tooth brush and it took me more than 4 hrs the first time around

 

Dark Rich leather color???
What is the color of your interior?
Almost every SC I have seen is either the light coffee and cream color or the sickly (to me) SC300 grey. I did see a 1998 with a dark blackish blue color (forgive me cause I am somewhat color blind).

 

I have been using Meguiars 'clean & condition' liquid with a soft brush when necessary and a thick polishing towel - it works well. The leather looks and feels lot better after 2 to 3 conditioning applications

 

lol, mine is tan color. i guess i'll just have wait for next few applications... and i will try the toothbrush also,,,

also, it rained today and my rear windshield was ALL HAZED UP. i even see the swirls of how i applied RAIN-X
did i not apply rain-x correctly?

O yah, I also bought Zaino and it's product is called Leather in a Bottle?
It hasn't arrived yet and I'm wondering if it's going to have a better appearance after conditioning than Lexol ?

 

Where can I get that leather feed stuff? Also, I have a 1" open crack on the drivers seat. How much to get that fixed, among others?

I also have had trouble with Lexol. I will use the tough paper towels tomorrow afternoon. I don't like the smell of Lexol conditoner too much, wish I could get Meguires scent with good results. Anyone know how to do this?

 

Camshaft,

You can get leather food from mostly any horse supply store, where they have leater treaters for horse saddles. I use the stuff on my leather shoes all the time, brings them back to new.

 

Thanks. Should I feed the leather before or after using Lexol? Now to find a horse supply store, there aren't any SFAs around here like back home near the farm.
