I've read a few posts regarding the cracking of the leather seats.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good leather care product?

Thanks!

Zymol or Lexol are two that come to mind.

Anyone use Megiuar Gold class for your leather? I'm using that stuff and it seems to do the job but I guess I'm ready to move on to bigger and better stuff.

Are these ok to use on the dash and other plastic pieces as well or is there another product I should get just for the dash?

I can't remember the name but I believe the makers of Lexol have a product specifically for the dash and other plastic pieces. Look in the same section as Lexol. Shouldn't be too hard to find as the bottles look the same and it's got a funky name that for some reaon reminds of lexol (which is why I can't think of the name).

You can, it won't damage it but it won't make the plastic look good. I haven't used any leather products on plastic but I'm thinking it's not going to make the plastic shiny.

Iron,

I have use Meguiar's, the two part stuff with the aloe. Use one bottle to clean and one to condition. It take a while to do the job, maybe a little over an hour to do all the seats. I've only had the car for about five months and did this about three months in. I'm not real impressed with it, it works but it doesn't seem to last long.

Now Lexol, for those that do not know, you can buy this stuff in an automotive store but also check the bigger pet stores or if you have a tac store (Horse feed store) check there as well since you can use this on leather saddles. I found some in a tac store and the price was actually cheaper than the automotive store. Might want to check www.valleyvet.com (haven't check the prices here but I know they sell horse stuff)

Iron, this might be a good place for you to look since you are out in "hay seed" ville.

Man AZ when you started talking pet stores I was like:

You spray this stuff on a horse/cow?

Zaino makes a leather cleaner and a leather conditioner as well. I have tried both the Zymol and the Zaino, both seem to do a comparable job, but I like the leather "smell" of the Zaino better. The car smells like new after sitting in the hot sun all day with the windows rolled up! Like it was posted earlier, it doesn't seem to last long on the surface, maybe because the leather is porous and it gets absorbed quickly. As far as seats cracking and wrinkling, not much can be done to avoid it, although keeping the leather soft will prevent some of the wrinkles and the most of the cracks. Those seats are definitely made for skinny-ass people!

Try Griot's Garage (www.Griotsgarage.com) for their Leather Care product. Either in a bottle or as Leather Care Wipes. Haven't use it but their polishes and waxes are all I have used for about 10 years. Good products.

AARRGGGG don't remind me of where I'm at.

I don't use the 2 part stuff from Megiuar but I just use the Gold class leather treatment. Hmmm maybe I'll start to use the 2 part stuff. Thx AZ
