Default Whats A Good Leather Seat Conditioner?

Whats a good leather conditioner to use on our seats? I have been using Lexol and Groits 3 in 1 Leather conditioner but they both dont seem to last to long and they both dont seem to condition the seats the way I though they should. Any recommmendations for my dark burgundy interior?

I like Leatherique Rejuvenator followed by Prestine clean. I have also used Leather Masters Vital with good success.

Edit: fixed typo on Prestine clean...darn auto correct

I use both of these and they are both excellent. After a deep conditioning with the Leatherique I just apply Prestine Clean every few months to keep things clean and soft, super easy and effective.

Agreed. Best I've used by far and no need for 'baking' to achieve excellent results.

I actually like this product as well and use it on some of the leather in the home. I am looking for something that a little more kick to it this go around. But thank you though. You are right, it does work very well.

How matte does it get the leather? I like Gliptone, but it leaves a satin sheen (not totally matte). Leatherique leaves good results, but it is a lot of work.

Just a comment on leatherique, you don’t need to use the Rejuventor as a regular part of the process. Use it maybe every couple of years for deep conditioning or when you know the leather is overly soiled. Use Prestine Clean applied with a microfiber applicator regularly (every few months) to clean and condition the leather.

Try giving the surface a quick wipe down the next day with a clean dry 100% terry cloth towel. It should knock down any sheen.

Simple Green gets the crud off and leaves a nice matt factory look. Then any of the above "foods" like leatherique or Zaino, let them sink in then buff with a towel, not microfibre. The Simple Green smell dissipates after 3 days.
