Default Leather Treatment?

Gents,

I currently have Meguires Leather Treatment. I don't really like it, a few hours later it is sticky and leaves streaks if you look at the seat in the sun. Not to mention it does not feel like it is helping the leather what so ever. Can anyone recommend a leather treatment that I dont have to drive to the end of the earth to purchase?

Good post. I've not been happy with the Mequire's either.

Thanks,

You will probably want to use the cleaner to remove the Mequires, You will be starting fresh. If I am not mistaken the only actual Leather is the Seating surfaces everything else is vinyl. Lexol is not cheap but I think it is worth the money. I have used both products on my 2001 Lariat Supercrew, Yes I also own a Ford. If the leather is new it may not need much cleaning.

How does the Lexol perform on the PLEATHER that covers most of the interior? I know it is great on leather. I was worried about the rest.

I do not think it will do any damage but it is pretty expensive I think they have a FAQ

I use nothing but Griots products on my corvette show car and all other cars and trucks with leather. I highly recommend the Griots Leather Care and generally all of their other products any day over Zaino or Mequires. The Griots Leather Care is here: http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?&SKU=11142

Just my humble opinion
