Default Touch up faded areas of black leather

What's the best product to use? And do I have to keep repeating it every 6 mos. or yr? Will it rub off on clothes?

faded areas... well that's more expensives and challengeing, hopefully the conditioner will darken it...

Lexol or the Lexus leather cleaning set works great. If you are willing to spend a bit more for a higher end set, Leather Masters has some great stuff

Yeah, I heard the same. I DO NOT want a greasy feeling, and someone on here recommended Leather Masters cream (it's not a conditioner). But since you are on the MOL as well, do you think they have a comparable product?

^^Mike Phillips swears by the Leather wipes. Then again, he does work for Meguiars lol. Other than that, I haven't used a Megs leather cleaner/conditioner yet
