I have done a search and read all the threads on this but didn't see anything on this link.

Oakwood leather care

Has anyone tried this?

 

05,

I've never heard of that product, but if anyone has it'd be Rock Pick or Lenny and there are quite a few others that are very knowledgable as well and I'm sure they'll chime in once all that turkey and dressing runs out, hehe. Did you have any luck with the autospring install?

Later,

~DM~

 

It's official. No more turkey until tomorrow at about this time...


But, to officially answer your question, I don't think I've heard of anyone talking about the Oakwood Products here at f150online.

If you try them out, please give us an indepth review of your results/opinions.

When I bought a new Cadillac back in 1997 it came with a gift bucket in the trunk which consisted of car wash items, and a bottle of leather conditoner. I don't know who made any of the stuff because it all looked like dollar store junk. I never used anything but the bucket and sponge which had the dealer name and their logo.

When I picked up my King Ranch there was still a tag on the driver seat hanging from the headrest. I noticed on the way home that the little metal bits on the ends of the tag wire scraped the leather seat back.

The only leather conditoner I had was the junk from the other car which I'd never opened. I used the conditioner according to the directions on the bottle, applied it to a clean cloth, then applied it to the scrape. It immediately turned the scrape very dark making it look far worse than it was. The next day the scrape was invisable and the area I treated was slippery. I was impressed, so I did the whole driver seat. The product identified a few more scrapes that I did not notice before. After a few hours everything looked great! No marks at all.

I had checked the ingredients to be sure there was no silicone or water in the product list, but it did list a polymer and an emulsifier which are kinda vague descriptions.

I still don't know who made the stuff, even after calling the car dealer. Nobody there remembered giving anything like that away with a new car purchase. But then again, nobody I talked to worked there in 1997.

 

Well... the product that I could not identify is no better than anything else....

After two days the leather went right back to the way it was before I treated it.

Will continue to look for something better...

 

I'm still using the Lexol for the time being. I've had more luck with it so far than most of the other products I've tried. I still want to try some of the Leathermaster products one day.

RP - does Meguiars make a leather care that would be good for our seats? I apologize if this has been beaten to death.

 

Immediately before I traded my 01, I started experimenting with Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Aloe Conditioner. From my observations, it seemed to work as good if not better than Lexol.

To date, I haven't conditioned my 05 but, I plan on going with the Meguiar's initially.

Leathermaster is still on my 'need to buy it' list per Mike's recommendation.

I completely conditioned my 05 right after purchase with Zaino Brothers Leather in a bottle. I have had good luck with this product in the past. I had a convertable were the seats were exposed a lot and they leather looked brand new for the 3 years I owned the car. I also use all the other Zaino products to detail my vehicle and I highly reccomend them. www.zainobros.com

I used the Meguiars on my 01 and now on my 05. I really rub it in and it makes the seats look real rich and new.

Have used lexol when I ran out of Meguiars. It was OK, but I prefer the Meguiars.
