I have bought Zymol in Target and Walmart wher they are a $ or 2 cheaper, they look original to me. I like the smell of the Zymol liquid wax....

I use Lexol and have experienced great results with their cleaner and conditioner. I also like to use their vinyl conditioner as well (its the blue bottle). It provides a nice matt - not to shiny finish and has a neutral smell to it. It also has UV blocker additives which is a plus. Their vinyl cleaner seems to last a long time as well. The other stuff out there just seems to leave your interior too greasy or smelling like an air freshener that should be hanging from your rearview mirror.
Here is a small tip for those that are looking to replenish their leather with conditioner. After thoroughly cleaning your leather with Lexol cleaner (orange bottle), apply the Lexol conditioner (brown bottle) on your seats by gently massaging it in with latex gloves on. Your bare hands or a cloth will just absorb to much of the conditioner. Then take some shrink wrap and proceed to cover your seats. This will help slow down the drying of the conditioner and will help your leather absorb the conditioner better. Let it sit for about an hour. Then remove the shrink wrap, you will notice that your leather will be tacky to the touch. Just re-spray a small amount of conditioner on your seats and proceed to polish them with a soft terry cloth. Do a final polish with a clean terry cloth to remove any excess conditioner. Remember if you live in hotter climates you will need to conditioner your leather more often. This process will leave your leather softer than the skin that’s on the back of your knee! Good luck.

I have been a member for 7 years. Although, I have posted here higher than the 3 other forums I belong to, in a couple of months...how's that for participation....still waiting on my ipod....or iphone.....
Very good stuff in the detailing forum there though.

For me, long story short...was about to get an 07 TL-S, but somehow got side tracked and we took home the Bamboo Pearl for the wife. I do not regret it a bit. Now, I am looking at a GS.....done with the Acs.

Nice, why did you have to let it go? I like that 240 HP!
