What do you use for leather cleaner & protectant?

[matt]

I was just wondering what do you all use for cleaner and protectant on the Recaro leather? I've used the Meguiars 2 step process leather sytem in the past, 1 is a blue gel cleaner and 2 is a white conditioner/protectant. I'm looking to try something new and with better results.

All I can say is Poorboysworld.com Everything they sell is made in the good ol' USA and is priced very well. They ship out super fast and have everything and anything you need to get your car shining like new. I recommend them over Meguiars, Mothers, etc. I have used them on my 2004 Black QC3 and PBW corrects all the mistakes left by competitors I used before. I recommend their Leather cleaner/cond. mos def because I have black leather seats in my QC3 and it made them so soft and clean. Also their Polish w/Blue Carnuba is an amazing all around replacement for traditional wax. Their SSW's work magic for those hairline scratches and getting off tar, adhesive or anything and wont scratch your car. Their wheel cleaner is one of the best. Check their stuff out and also the more stuff you buy the more free stuff they give you. Everytime I buy something they give me a microfiber, a proto type product or last time they even gave me a PBW decal. CHECK IT OUT! NUFF SAID!

I use armor all leather protectant... for the most part I don't worry too much, as the 'stretched' areas are woven.

Has anyone ever tried the Zaino cleaner and protectant? Supposedly it doesn't appear greasy afterwards like Meguiars does.

Hey sp00ner, does the armor all leave a greasy feeling after cleaning? I know some of the armor all dash protectants do.

Ummm... I don't even remember right now. I haven't done anything other than wipe them with armor all cleaner, followed by a shop towel to 'dry' them, in quiet some time. I THINK it does leave a film, but not sure how good or bad of one it is.

That Zaino stuff is supposed to be good. There's another type I've heard of as well... it escapes me right now...

all of that crap isnt good.... harley. or anything for motocycle jackets.

anything "Meguiars" is the way to go. IMO

Poor Boys World Leather Stuff does not leave a greasy film where you feel your gonna be sliding all over the leather seats. Its got UV protectants and has a pleasant leather scent that keeps seats smelling like new. I used it on my leather seats in my QC3 and it really makes the leather brand new, and they feel so soft. Trust me when I tell you this, and its only $16 for a 16oz bottle

I'll have to check the Poor Boys out chopstixx. I'm also leaning towards the Zaino too. I hope someone here has used it, I'd like to know how it compares. From what I've heard it's some of the best stuff out there.


fullthrottle, I agree. I use just about everything that is Meguiars. I wasn't too pleased with the 2 stage leather clener stuff. It left too much of a greasy film IMO.
