For the first time we have a vehicle with leather interior, actually both of our daily’s have leather.  What products are you guys using on your leather?

Lexol.  Recommended by a very high end upholsterer I used a long time ago.  For troubled parts, I use straight food grade lanolin.  I bought a tub of it on Amazon for like nothing.  Best Case Lube Evar.

Yep lexol is what I use. Just clean it really well. If you've got steam that'll work great but some very hot water will also work to open the pores then wipe it down with a micro fiber then use the lexol.

Do you guys use the spray? Or the thicker cream type one?

The creamy like stuff.  I pour it in a jar, then brush it on with a paint brush.  I buy it at Tractor Supply.

I really like the Griots Garage leather care.  Smells nice too.

I use the Lexol spray for frequent quick treatments and the heavier cream Meguiars for heavy duty once or twice a year treatment.

Do you use a cleaner and conditioner?

The Lexol is the conditioner.  They make a cleaner also, but I rarely will use that.

I would clean it well before conditioning. You can get specific leather cleaners but most modern leather interiors have a vinyl coating on them anyway. I just use a mild, neutral APC then follow up with the conditioner.

Saddle Soap works well for cleaning, also.
