G35 Leather Conditioning

[Warpkor]

Hi folks:

I did a search and read quite a bit about the products used to treat leather. I didn't see any reference to the perferations in the leather of the G35. When you slather on the conditioner over the perferations, how are you getting all the excess off?

Thanks for your expertise.

The conditioner I used for my wife's Lexus was a spray, kinda like Armor-all, but I used three applications.

that is a good question iam starting to get a couple of wrinkles in my driver seat its a 03 but its in great shape is there any way to get those out of the leather

There's no real way to remove the wrinkles from the leather. You can do a couple thing to prevent them though. Either use seat covers or spring for some quality leather cleaner and conditioner (Lexol works great).

Only use enough product to do the job. Any extra should wipe off easily with a terry cloth.

thanks for the advise any body else have any favorite leather conditoners that they think works good

[AZhitman]

Lexol is the best that's easily available.

Leatherique is awesome for restoring older leather, and I LOOOOOVE Zaino's "Leather in a Bottle".

zainos is that available in pepboys and stuff or do u have to get it online somewhere

[AZhitman]

Zaino = Online only.

Their paint protectant > any store-bought product.

Agreed, Zaino is great stuff. Its just a tad bit on the expensive side though.

so i guess ill be getting some lexol so wut do u guys use on your dash and door panels just wanting to try new stuff every time i go out i buy something different its a habbit everytime i walk past the car cleaning section and see something new i have to try it out

[AZhitman]

Fortun ately for you, Lexol also makes a vinyl product.

Brown bottle = Leather conditionerOrange bottle = Leather cleanerBlue bottle = Vinyl cleaner / protectant

[g_ride]

I used Lexol until I ran out. Now on Zaino. Much less messy to apply and smells great as well. Personal choice, Lexol is still a very good product.

[AZhitman]

Yep - The smell of the Zaino is worth the extra few bucks!

Seems to work quite well.

well i had to buy the lexol wipes intead of the spray because they were out i tried them out today they seem pretty good hopefully they help protect as good as the spray didnt care for the smell of them that much though

You got it, Hitman... Leatherique. They have a cleaner, and a conditioner that work awesome. (Only available online like Zaino, as far as I know). I totally restored a sun-damaged leather steering wheel in my '95 BMW 525i. It turned out great. As for the smell, (someone addressed that), any leather conditioner that has the right ingredients to nurture the hide will likely not smell the greatest.

Haven't tried Zaino yet, but I may. The rest of their products are pretty high quality.
