Caring for leather...

Neat page about leathercare. Anyway, the leather on the TOP of my backseat's headrest looks pretty dried out. I'd like to get some of this surflex leather soffener (as said in above site) but I can't find it anywhere. Any comments?

I've been using a leather conditioner that I apply directly to the seats and just buff. It's been just fine with no dryness or cracking.

I think it's from Meguiar's, but I can't remember offhand.

I have some mequirs stuff, it's alright, but in the site I mentioned about it said that surflex stuff is the stuff to get. I want some.

Many people swear by Leatherique. I will be trying it this weekend.

i like Leatherique, but i heard good things about Surflex Leather softener, too (never tried it). go to www.carcareonline.com for the Surflex. for both you slather it on your seat and then put a garbage bag over it for a few days to let it soak in. repeat if necessary.

I second Leatherique.

Currently just using the Meguiar's product, but there is nothing (including Surflex) that I have seen, or heard of, that beats Leatherique.

Look at their website if interested (there's lots of leather care info there):
