This is not for my car, but my friend's. I was wondering if anyone has experience with either. We used the Meguiar's Gold Class leather cleaner/conditioner and it seemed to not do much at all. If anything it may have made the leather look a bit more dull in the small area we tried. So I was wondering if this was a common thing and if maybe the Lexol stuff might be better? We bought some of that but have yes to use it... So opinions on these would be helpful, or if you have alternatives, Im to suggestions. Just to be clear, Im looking more for the conditioning of the leather than actually cleaning.

have used both and i prefer lexol.

a-orange clean the hell outta your seats
b-liberally apply lexol and lightly scrub it in
c-let the excess sit on the leather with windows up in the sun.(warmer the better, just not excessively hot)
d-wipe clean and enjoy.

and a tip, DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS IN COLD WEATHER!! (<75deg.F), the lexol is a PITA to get off so youl have this film on it until it eventually wears off.

How long do you let the excess sit on the leather for?

I just bought both products.

I put meguires on the drivers door leather, and its stays glossy and greasy and is so gross!! I put lexol on the passengers side, and it seemed the same way and then it dried and went away and just left a factory-clean leather look. No grease.

Now, I can't get rid of the greasey look on the drivers side and it is so annoying. I tried lexoling it, but I'm guess I'm going to just have to wait it out. It looks horrible - like a 25 cents car wash detail job.

Anyway, Lexol wins! Fatality.

in the sun? maybe 2-4 hours

You are overlooking one of the best cleaners and conditioners available. Check with your Lexus dealer. Their leather products are really good.

check out the Zaino products. I heard good things about them and bought some. The leather conditioner doesn' tneed to be wiped off and leaves a nice non greasy finish

Between Lexol and Meguiar's, I'd go with the Lexol. I use the leather cleaner and conditioner from Lexus now. It is surprisingly good stuff.

I dont know if it matters or not, but its not for a Lexus; however, Im sure it makes no difference.

i prefer lexol as well but i wouldnt let it sit for 2 hours just do the process as puredrifter explained and turn on the heat with the car running for about 10-15 minutes that should be fine ..also remember the seat is only going to asorb soo much the rest is waste
