Leather Conditioner
My leather is a little dried out and stiff. Anyone have a favorite leather conditioner that would help the leather get softer? I have used some already, but would like to try some that someone has had good results with. Thanks in advance.

I have heard that Leatherique is the best. I am waiting for a nice warm day to do the treatment.

I agree with Matt. I used to detail cars for a living and in searching around for the best products I've not seen anything that works as well as Leatherique. The key to getting it to work well is patience. Lots if it. You may not notice anything in the first couple of applications, but after several uses the leather should start to come back to life.
Not affiliated in any way etc. Michael

Try Einszett Lederpflege. An excellent premium leather cleaner/restorer. Leaves the leather like butter and brings the smell back out by reactivating the oils.

definitely, i think that any of the nice two stage liquid leather cleaners will do a great job. Just get a reputable Liquid kit.

The only experience I have with leather cleaners/conditioners is with the Eagle One set consisting of the cleaner and conditioner. I have not used anything else so I don't really have anything to compare it to.

I have been using Tanners Perserve leather conditioners. This was recommend by a pilot friend. He says that Lear Jets recommend for the seats in the plane. I have applied it to seats twice now. I like because the seats are not real slippery after it is applied.
Have you noticed how dry the top of the back seat gets?

slather on the Rejuvenator oil, place a big trash bag over the seat and let it sit out in the warm sun for a day. repeat once, or several times if the leather is in bad shape. then use the cleaner to remove all the junk that the Rejuv has brought to the surface from the pores of the leather. it will smell like new leather again!
