Question What do you use on your Leather?

I was into Canadian Tire, yes in Canada, and i was looking for a cleaner/treatment for my Black Leather/vinel seats. I have a Scab Fx4. I saw Eagle 1 there on sale, they had one for purely leather seats which warned of testing on a non conspicuous section first and then there was another for leather/vinel which is more like an armor-all. I want to use something that is acutally gunna work and not look like its working and in a few years they look like *****.

Anybody use this stuff or know about this stuff, and what do you use or recommend?

DO NOT use armour all or anthing like it either on your seats or dash!! Seats a leather conditioner , dash damp cloth or towel. With the other stuff you will ruin it.

Once you start using it you have to keep using it. It drys out natural texture of leather or even vinyl. I f you like your stuff Dont use that geasy Crap!! There is other info out there confirming this.

Go over to the King Ranch Forum and do a search on "Leather" there.
Because of the unique nature of the Castano leather in the KR the subject has been beaten to death.

However the important thing with leather is to 'feed' it.
Just because you use a product that makes it look good in the short term doesn't mean it will last.

I have used the leather feed that the King Ranch Shop sells direct and many other have found it satisfactory too.
Some people like Rockpick have used Lexol with great effect.

A good conditioner will clean at the same time.
We have already spoken about how quickly the tan leather (It should be called parchment, because that's what it is in other Ford products) becomes dirty, so it needs regular cleaning/ feeding.
Black may not notice as far as cleaning, but it still needs the feeding to keep it supple and make it last.
