I have driven a GM automobile for the 30 years I have been driving. I purchased my first Ford product last night, an F-150 King Ranch! Pictures to be posted soon!

Hey Tumbleweed, congrats on the new truck! You posted at 4:30 AM, couldn't sleep with the new truck in the garage? Need pics ASAP.

 

Congrats TW and welcome to KR ownership!

That's right - I couldn't sleep last night! Driving the new KR to work this morning was a real drag, too - I was scared to death I would wreck it, or some idiot would pull out in front of me! Pics coming soon, raining here for the next two days!

 

RP, do you work at Meguiar's? That's all I've ever used on my vehicles. Is the leather cleaner and conditioner (with aloe) okay for the KR seats?

 

I'll let RP answer for himself, but you might check out the KR Leather Conditioner. Several on this site have used it - I found it to be a great product. You can find it on the King Ranch site - $9.95/bottle + S&H.

Enjoy your new truck!

 

Congrats!!

 

KR site? Hmmm, I'm Google'in.

 

Sorry, I missed this one...

I don't work at Meg's however; I was, at one time, helping out with meguiarsonline.com and have been trained by them in Irvine on many of their products.

I gave up that gig a few months ago because of time issues and other responsibilities that I have. Long story short, I know their stuff but am no longer a part of their organization (btw, my position was totally unpaid... similar setup as I have with f150online.com).

None the less, I've found a few leather conditioners that I REALLY like with our Castano. One is Lexol (search within this forum and you'll find mounds of info). A second is Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Aloe Conditioner (I really like this one and actually conditioned last weekend with this product... it's really good stuff). A third is Fiebings Four-Way (good product but a little too liquidy for my tastes). A fourth, Leather CPR..... there are a few others but, those are among my top three. I'm itching to try Leathermaster as well...

All in all, of the ones listed, Lexol and Rich Aloe are my two favorites. The leather conditioner that was mentioned before is from the KR Saddleshop (www.krsaddleshop.com) and can be found/purchased here. My experience with this product back when I bought my 01 was that it smelled like a chemical storage closet and offered minimal conditioning properties. Some will argue that it's great stuff and, for them it might be, I simply didn't like it. Just an opinion... everyone's got one.

Hope that helps a little.

Not to mention at $10 a bottle it is much more pricey than Lexol or Leather CPR, both of which can be found at local stores. I second the Lexol and Leather CPR endorsements, and also have similar feelings about Fiebing's (it's too liquid). Those are the only four I have ever used on mine.

 

As always, a WEALTH of info to be found in the forum - ain't the internet great?
Thanks for all the info! Still raining here - pics coming soon!

 

Congrats on the new KR man. I hope to own one someday myself.
