Leather Seat maintenance?

[baco99]

zaino won't work on rejuvenating seats, but once you get them fixed/replaced, it is the best stuff in town. but it works best on new seats.

where do i get the leatherique Rejuvenator? is it really going to work any better than lexol?

[juiceman]

I never tried zano but I did try Lexol and was not happy. Are the tops of your back seat the hardest? I think that this will be the longest one to get real soft.

Trick is multiple applications on the rejuvenator and working it it. Let it sit in the sun with windows up

I will post in afew days with the results of my second application

If you order, order from Letherique and ask for the infiniti club free Pristine clean

I know what you mean about the hardness but I rally feel that this stuff is working and will work great after repeat applications like they recommed

wow...15 bucks for shipping that little bottle. Is the prisitne clean really necessary? I can get it from a different website for $24 total.

[juiceman]

I bought the large bottle and got the pristine clean with shipping for 50

I know it is alot but I have spent at least that much on products that did not work even close. and by the oz they were only 1/2 the price.

I recommend the 32oz bottle as I think it will take a good part of that to get it right. The pristine clean helps clean up any residue when soaking is done

Are they giving you the free pristine clean? I got mine free for being an infiniti club member

Just an update

The Leatheriwue rejuvenator is working

The seats are getting softer and the hard spots are no where to be found

I have to say that I am happy with the results, I tried LExol which is good for maintaining good seats but the Rejuv Oil is what is needed for the abused leather

I will follow their instructions and do some follow-up applications and report back more findings

I have ripped, slitted, and hardened front seats on my 92 Q. It looks okay, but up close fairly dirty. The arm rest is worn too.

I found Lexol conditioner (got it at the local horse and farm shop for 8 bucks) to work fairly well. Some of the hard spots got softer by some degree. And Meguiar's cream ($4.50) is applied after using Lexol to get rid of the smell and bacon grease feel. Lexol, meant for horse saddles, oddly enough smells like... horses. Meguiar's smells like a fresh new car.

I pretty much give up on chemicals. I think I'll have vinyl replacement done on the harshly damaged/torn areas.

I find that the best factory leather is in Chrysler cars. (Recently took a look at a 94 LHS, and a friend's LeBaron.) Its thick, it breathes, its pliable, and its beautiful even a decade later with minimal maintenance, if any.

I was very unimpressed by 300M leather. Very plasticky, vinyl like.

I'll let this go as your drug experimentation phase.

I have tried numerous products and I keep coming back to my old time favorite - Murphy's Oil Soap. It cleans well, doesn't dry out the leather, and is available about anywhere. Heck, I even use a diluted formula to bath my Great Danes! Coats look great and their skin doesn't get dry and flaky. Just never mix the two because wet Dane and a car interior is not a good combination.

Murphy's Oil Soap, really, I thought that was for wood?

I would caution everyone not to use anything as alkaline as soap of any kind on leather. Short term, it may appear OK. But long term, even after one use, the leather will dry and crack sooner as some of the natural oil is removed and one cannot remove all the soap, so it remains in the leather. Even if one just uses the suds. This applies to even "saddle soaps" and such.
