Default Quality Leather Conditioner/Cleaner

Hey D4'ers,

I recently tried Griots Garage Leather 3-in-1 Spray, and I have to say I'm quite impressed. For the past 6+ years, I've only used Lexol products. Last week I was at O'Reilly Auto Parts picking up some Techron and grabbed a bottle of Griots. I was looking for an all-in-1 leather product for my dash. I was so impressed with the ease of application, removal and appearance and feel of the dash; I did the entire interior. It took me about 20-minutes to do the interior. The product left a subtle matte finish that wasn't greasy or tacky.

The leather smell of Griots is a little strong, but it disappears within a day-or-two. I wanted to pass along my experience, in case any other members were looking for a quality easy to apply leather product.

I have used both Leatherique and 'Soffener' (made/sold by OolorPlus). In my opinion, they are both superior to anything stocked at the generic 'car parts' stores. IF I need to touch up some leather with a new dye, I much prefer 'ColorPlus' as my supplier. I've restored quite a few 15-40 year old BMW and Porsche seats using these products.

I've found Lexol to work very well. I also use my Pecard motorcycle leather cream or balm with sensational results: I also use the Pecards on my leather Stickley furniture.
