Best Leather Cleaner and Conditioner?
I'm looking to buy some products to clean and condition my leather - what works best AND smells good? I want an effective cleaner and conditioner that won't stink up my car. What do you guys suggest?

I've used just about all of them.
Lexol is decent. Easiest to find.
Zaino is decent. Smells the most like leather.
Townsend is awesome and what i'm currently using . Get the seperate cleaner and conditioner. I think it is better than their cleaner/protectant in one.

I've actually had my neighbor come over and say 'New seats? Nothing beats that new leather smell.' That's not to say the smell is over powering, but it definetly smells of new leather. I clean and protect my seats on a Saturday, and on Monday I drive into work wearing a suit/tie
The Zaino system (Z-9 & Z-10) is dry and non-oily in a matter of hours.

Thanks for the help everyone. I like that Zaino has a very leathery smelly, but the townsend sounds like a better product. Is townsend THAT good? Should I just forget about which I think smells better and get the superior product?

just try it and you will be hooked-
i usually alternate products anyway (when i want perfect, i use townsends- when i want quicker i use zaino- and lexol is pretty easy to use too). one time i use one and the next time i do the car i use the one i am in the mood for then and its often not the one i used the last time!!!
and actually thats pretty much how i choose most of the products that i use each time i do a car. btw, thats how we discovered "sandwiching" several years ago- synthetics one time and carnuba the next... then it became 2 coats of synthetic topped by carnuba.
detailing (your own cars) is a lot about what you feel like at the time!
