Default Lexol vs. Raggtop Leather Cleaner

Hey guys,

Did a search on this, and although I learned alot of good info ... I'd like to know how you guys compare Lexol and Raggtop leather cleaner/protectant directly. This is for interior (not be confused w/ the top care) ... (pray I don't get flamed for this post) ...

Never used the Ragg Top leather products (or Townsends for that matter). Lexol is OK though. My current favorite leather products are the Four Star Leather Cleaner and Four Star Leather Conditioner.

This is gonna sound stupid ... but do any of them really stink (smell wise) ... I used to use Zymol on my EL and RSX-S and both the cleaner and conditioner really smelled bad ...

I'm actually looking for some new stuff myself. I have Lexol cleaner and conditioner as well as vinylex and I am not a fan of any of them. The Lexol was too shiny for me and the vinylex I had a hard time getting it even on the dash.

The smell is a little like popcorn. I've also tried the meguirs gold class and I found it a bit greasy.

I'll look into the 4 start stuff. I just want something that has a nice matte finish to it.

How does it leave the leather feeling?

I'll probably pick some up soon. I'm about due for some more products.

I have been using Lexol recently, used to use Connolly products before they were re- formulated.

On a related note, has anyone used this product?

townsend here- very happy with the results. Lexol was just too shiny for me.
