Brand new Sk2 owner. Never had leather interior before. What are the best products to use?

I just ordered some Zaino Leather Cleaner and also the Conditioner in the current Group Buy. Their info says that they are good for both leather and vinyl. I always see Lexol advertised with separate stuff for leather and vinyl, and I don't want to be buying twice as much stuff, then needing to know which piece is leather and which is vinyl.

Has anyone used Lexol on both leather and on vinyl? If so, which one did you use?

The Lexol product for vinyl is called Vinylex. I'd be worried about a product that can be used for both leather and vinyl. They are two different materials that have different needs. The Lexol leather stuff is specifically ph balanced for leather.

Only the tops of the seats are leather but they deteriorate very quickly. Make sure you don't wait to apply the conditioner of your choice.

I use Lexol leather cleaner and the conditioner as well. Also I use Klasse's Vinyl, Leather, Rubber & Plastic Cleaner Protectant on the leather for protection from the sun's rays. Eagle One has two new products to clean and conditions the leather. Their leather conditioner contains a UV sunscreen which is good for our cars. I might try theirs next. I buy most of my supplies from http://www.properautocare.com You can read about the products on that site but you can get Lexol and Eagle One products at Pep Boys or most auto part stores.

Hey S2k4ever

Do you find it necessary to use the leather cleaner with black interior? Or is the conditioner enough?
