Default Leather

I have Armor All, Turtle Wax, Blue Magic and Lexol products available but am unsure which to use. I don't really want to use Armor All since (from my experience) they leave slippery surfaces. I just want a cleaner/conditioner. The Lexol looked like it might be a winner. Anyone have any pros/cons or other suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Lexol seems to be getting the job done for me. I may try the Leather Master products after my Lexol is gone.

Just follow the instructions on the Lexol bottles and you can not go wrong.

Is it cleaning or just conditioning (with the dirt and yuck still on the seats)? Hows the smell?

Motorcycle Consumer News does comprehensive product reviews, and they don't accept any $ from manufacturers. Suffice to say, when they've done their study, you can bank on their results. Some time ago they did one on leather cleaners, many of them. Lexol took 1st place. I recall, quality has a lot to do with the pH of the cleaner and restorer. I've been using Lexol ever since, and couldn't be happier. Long winded, but thought I'd share the 'why' I use Lexol.

Alternating between two or three products might be a good idea. This will allow you to use all the products you currently own. As stated above ph is important but there is no way for the consumer to make this judgment. I'm also assuming a ph of absolute neutral would be preffered. If you would rather use only one product, Take the Motor Cycle Mag report to heart and use the Lexol. I'll be adding this product to my current products soon. Thanks for the recomendation for Lexol.
