I really like this product. Plus the seats smell like leather after instead of chemicals.

I bought mine from Autobarn.com because I wanted spray instead of lotions you pour on a cloth.

Got this for some old shoes I was trying to restore, works insanely well. I used it on an old leather bag my mom had that is about 20 years old, leather was dry and faded but after a few treatments it looked great.

Cheap as well, use far less of it than water based conditioners.

this is about cars though...many are top coated so real leather products don't scale.

I'm a little weird about all of the "as seen on tv" advertising part of it.


Do you know if it will work on dyed leather? I've been using the bmw treatment on my red leather and it seems to work well.

I've been using Zaino Z-9 leather cleaner and the Z-10 leather conditioner for quite a few years and love it. The cleaner is a spray but the conditioner is a lotion. I actually prefer the lotion for conditioner as you can work it into the leather really well.

I use Lexol. Best stuff I've found.

I have lexol...doesn't work as nicely as Gliptone. Plus lexol is more shiney which I don't like.

Tanner's Preserve is another great leather product, but harder to find now that I don't live in a Polo community.

Leatherique IME doesn't do so great for coated leathers but is simply amazing for aniline or semi-aniline leathers (i.e. shoes).

Warning: Rejuvenator Oil will darken all tones lighter than medium/dark brown if non-coated.

I've heard good things, even compared to leatherique's rejuvinating oil/pristine clean.

Back from the dead. I'm redoing my seats to get them not so shiny. I read on the m3forums to use a mix of simple green and water to degrease the leather and remove the dirt, and then either gliptone or lexol or whatever floats your boat to wipe on and off. Basically I want to soften and clean the black vaders in my car and clean everything up well.


slag... Back to the dead... No need to resurrect threads this old...
