I've very rarely ever had a problem with any leather conditioner getting stuck in the perferations.

In my experience, if I 'm getting conditioner stuck in the perferations it's because I'm using too much.


If you are clogging the perfs, you are using to much young skywalker.

i put mine in the middle of a MF towel (12inx12in) and kinda rub it into the towel untill no "gue" is left and just a white spot on the rag, then i rub it in. helps with perferation stick. also to the things on the sides (not sure what they are called) and the head rest first.

Those things are called bolsters

Now, off topic and for 5 points,

Can anyone tell me what those things at the end of shoelaces are called?

Lexol cleaner,and Lexol conditionner are my choice.
Good results,not greasy or too shiny,and very easy to apply.!!!
And not expensive.

People talking about the Lexol leather cleaner/conditioner, are you all using the wipes or the liquid? I noticed with the lexol leather cleaner/conditioner wipes, it doesn't seem to get soaked into the leather. It just leaves a nasty greasey residue which I assume means its actually not treating the leather (so you're just wasting your time and money when using the lexol leather conditioner wipe). I read about this on another car forum and some info about different types of leather (note, this is not a plug) http://www.1z-usa.com/sys-tmpl/howtoleathercare/
