Default Looking for new leather Care

I've been using the Griot's leather care since the day I bought my car, but I'd like to try something different now that I've run out.
Anyone used Sonus's stuff or Ultimate from autopia.com? What do you guys like?

When it comes to leather care, I prefer a 2 step system. Our S2000 have coated leather so not all cleaners/protectants are effective.

Personally for Coated leather, I like Duragloss, uncoated, I like Pinnacle/Chemical Guys leather conditioner.

To clean the leather, I like Pinnacle Leather/Vinyl cleaner.

Whatever product you use, make sure it does not remove the coating on the leather.

After looking over a number of old posts I placed an order with Townsend for their conditioner and cleaner.

I have lexol, I use it on my shoes. Not a big fan of lexol on my cars since it sometimes leaves a sticky film behind

I agree with you. It can be a pita to buff the conditioner off....but, I do love the 'PH' cleaner. It does a great job.

I started using it about 3 - 4 months ago. So far no complaints.

I thought of lexol, but after seeing some cars that had used it for years, I didn't care for the results over time.
