Hey Gang,

I am looking for a really good leather care product for my new wheels. I haven't had leather in like 20 years so I am out of the loop on this one, any thoughts?

I too am interested in leather care products, I don't want the inside to feel like a school bus

Anyone has some info?

I've used Zymol leather cleaner and conditioner on a few of my vehicles. I like the results. Keeps the leather clean and then you can condition it to keep it soft and supple These two products should be available at your local auto store for $7-$8 each.

I am using a combination of meg's rich leather conditioner cream, and mainting it a few times a month with the rich leather wipes.

I'm not sure if the 2.5/3.5 premium/non premium dashboards are made out of the same material, but what is it?

My 3.5 prem/tech has a textured material. It almost feels like and appears to be rubber. I'm not sure what to treat it with. I was using meg's foaming dash cleaner but you gotta load the stuff on to get into all the nooks and crannies.

What are you other guys using?

I used mothers back to black on the dash and it definately got the shine going. I use zymol leather conditioner and it is great! I tried the meg. wipes but the shine came off as soon as i sat in the seat or touched them.

Also the best polish and wax I've ever used is Zymol HD Cleanse and Zymol Carbon wax. Expensive but worth it, especially the HD Cleanse (polish).

I've always use Meguiar's/nXt, it's alright but I think I'll step it up and try ZAINO.

I use a combination -- 1st use Meguiars Leather Cream Conditioner (This Softens the Leather gives it Great Plush Butter Soft Feel) yet leaves dull finish. Then use a light coat (so it doesn't look or feel oily) Meguiars Leather Spray to give it a nice Shine!!
