Leather cleaner/conditioner

What do you all use to clean and condition your leather? Anyone use lexol or what other products do you use?

I use Pinnacle Cleaner + Conditioner. Lexol is a decent product for OTC. Just don't go and spend the money on Leatherique when our seats really aren't that much leather.

X3 Tried many many others and so far I have had the best luck with Lexol. Cleaner works great and the conditioner is very good.

I remember seeing someting about the leather in the fx4's were sport leather, not real leather, or at least not all real leather, synthetic or plastic or something. Wasn't there something specific to use on it and a warning about using OTC leather cleaners?

Correct, only KR has the full grain leather. The rest are plasticized. Aerospace 303 works great. No sense of using a high cost level leather system on basically a plastic cover. You can use leather conditioners/cleaners as long as they don't have petroleum based products in them.

And this information is in that funny sized book that came with the truck.

Thanks for the info. Isn't AS303 basically Armor all? How do you keep the seats from feeling greasy and geting it on your clothing? I have some from a vinyl spa cover and never thought about it on my seats.

Not sure what the newer models have but the 05 Lariats are leather with a simulated leather back seat.

The only "leather" are the center sections where the back and bottom meet.

303 is 100% different than anything with the name Armorall on it..
