what is a good brand that i should get for cleaning and conditoin the seats in my accord.. i bought some turtle wax brand cleaner and conditioner all in one.. but my friend said its trash
any ideas?

 

best stuff i have found is called leatherique http://www.leatherique.com/ using the prestine clean and rejuvenator oil

 

Saddle Soap? Used for years on leather products...

P

 

yep

 

meguiar;s has a nice foam that works really well on my seats. its part of a very nice detailing kit target has. check it out.

 

leatherque is good but I prefer Lexol and its a little easier to get, Pep Boys Autozone etc.

 

light coats of saddle soap is the best I can recommend, that lexol stuff can soak in and the leather will stretch and then there is a wrinkle problem
The guy that does the replacement of leather on our shops used cars says that lexol and the armor all leather treatment should be illegal LOL old school rules sometimes.

 

If you read your owner's manual, it sayes to use saddle soap. It's supposed to be available at the dealer. Where else can I get some?

 

Tack Shops (our contributors from the great state of Texas can tell you where). IE Riding supplies (Horse saddles, etc.) and larger Sporting Goods stores.

P

 

Academy? I hope. Don't know of any horse places around here. Maybe I just haven't looked before.

 

Just ride naked in the summer, all the body sweats will neutralized the Ph level in the leather...

oh wait..i mean ...ah...just use mothers' leather product..they are...good stuff

 

Sounds like fun, but I have reservations about it helping my leather seats lol.


And never heard of a "Tack Shop" or whatever.

 

lol thanks for the info but is turtle wax any good? or trash?

I've worked in and around shops that replace leather and clean fix and repair leather for 15 years and Lexol is the best for it. It does soak in, what do you think it needs to do to condition? Leather will not get soaked and strech out and wrinkle due to Lexol. Saddle Soap is good for cleaning and does help to condition and I'll admit a might bit cheaper.
Armor All is the stuff that needs to be outlawed whether it be for leather or vynil.

on my 2001 325ci as well. I use this stuff on our 2003 Accord seats, couches, shoes, wallets whatever leather. You know stuff is good when they kill animals for their proteins to clean and condition stuff we sit on or use.

have you tried before accepting what your friend said?
try it.... if it is trash it would not be on the shelves of any store!

 

People buy a LOT of trash. Then they come on this forum, and post about it, like it's a good deal. But one man's trash, is another man's treasure.
