I wasn't impressed by the Lexol either. I've been using Wizards conditioner on the GS. They're a MN company and found in some parts stores around here, Napa for sure; not sure if you can find them thru the rest of the country but I've been happy with their products.

I've thought about trying the Leatherique but it's spendy and I'm not sure how much it would benefit the normal GS coated leather.

As for today, I'm still trying to get my brakes working right, either there's air somewhere in the system still or something's not working right.
