LEXOL LEATHER CLEANER and LEXOL LEATHER CONDITIONER

Leather seats require a little bit of care... note that I say a little bit..after all, the title of my blog is "no sweat" car care, and I mean that! I don't like to work up a sweat!

If you've been following my blog, you know that I really like the LEXOL brand of Leather Cleaner, and their Leather Conditioner. I have used them for years (almost 35 I believe), and have also compared them to many other products on the market, sometimes even doing a side by side comparison.

Most of the other products coat the leather. Very few will first, foam out the dirt from the pores, which is important. leather is like your skin, and you cannot rub the dirt into the leather. You need to gently remove it, and Lexol Leather Cleaner does just that with its gentle but effective foaming action. It's also pH balanced to the pH of leather so it does not dry or otherwise injure the leather.

Then, I follow the cleaning with a thin coat of Lexol Leather Conditioner, while the leather is still moist from the cleaner. It is absorbed right into the leather, and it's formulation actually bonds with the leather fibers to strengthen, condition and soften them. It replaces the oils that were originally added to the leather in the tanning process, but DOES NOT make your leather feel greasy or oily or slippery.

And, this is where LEXOL beats the competition hands down! Lexol penetrates into the leather... most of the other products "dress up" the leather. They surface coat it, which does nothing to prevent cracking, drying, creasing or eliminate that stiff feeling. Most other products make the leather shiny, slippery or oily feeling. I HATE THAT! I hate stopping at a traffic light and sliding in my seat!

LEXOL simply restores the leather to its like new, original condition. When I do a side by side comparison, the difference is really startling!

Here is what another, fellow blogger has to say: from the "Learning Curve" Blog http://dnolearningcurveyt.blogspot.com/

"Could you suggest a good leather seat treatment for cleaning and keeping it soft and supple? Thanks. Ron? - Lincoln town car leather seat oem "

Could you recommend a benign leather seat treatment for cleaning and keeping it soft and supple? Thanks. Ron? The leather seats are not worn much, but are getting hard and may collapse if I don't treat them soon. Age is part of the problem as this is a 1971 Lincoln Town Car. Perhaps one of you could recommend a brand of leather treatment and cleaner.

ANS: LEXOL first use the leather cleaner then follow up with the conditioner both made by LEXOL.They have to be bought separately,unexcelled stuff on the market no doubt. cleaner- comes in a orange spay bottle. conditioner- comes in a mousy spray bottle. Can be bought at most auto parts stores. "

I used LEXOL on my 1971 Roll Royce Silver Shadow. My seats were just like his, dry, brittle, cracking. I had to apply a thin coat of Lexol Leather Conditioner each day for about a week. BUT... after a week the seats were supple again! Lexol will not repair the cracks that have already occurred, but it will re-condition and soften the leather and prevent further deterioration.

VINYLEX TESTIMONIALS

I've used Vinylex for quite some time now and it's something that I recommend all my friends use regularly to keep their car in first class condition. In the hot sun and humidity here, it is critical that your dashboard and interior be conditioned and protected against the effects of solar heat and radiation. It only takes 3-4 minutes to do, and it will pay huge dividends in the lifespan and appearance of your car.

Here are a couple of testimonials from others that have bought Vinylex recently:

Great cleaner and protector (2008-08-12)
I used this product on my BMW leatherette interior and rubber surfaces on the exterior. Also works with plastic under the hood too! You get superior results for just a little money. I also used it detailing my wife's woefully neglected SAAB right before a trade-in estimate and made the car look worth much more than a previous estimate. This stuff is a must own if you want your car looking great. And one more good thing is that I keep it in my car's trunk all summer and the heat doesn't appear to spoil the Vinylex's effectiveness.

Great Stuff (2007-11-18)
I keep cars for a long time. My current vehicle is 10 years old, and I've always used Vinylex on it. The vinyl dashboard really looks as good as new.

I used a popular silicon based product on the car I had before this one, and the vinyl on the dashboard cracked after five or six years. Like the other reviewer said - Vinylex does not contain silicon.

Works great on the dash and bumpers (2007-10-31)
I bought Lexol Vinylex because I saw it mentioned on a Subaru owners chat room. I found that it did put my dash back to the way it looked and felt when I drove it away from the showroom. I did the black bumpers on my Subaru Forester and my neighbor, who has a classic car, came over and asked me what I used. It is supposed to keep the plastic/vinyl from cracking. I am very impressed with Vinylex and I will keep using it. I give this product five stars.

Great Product - hard to find (2007-02-19)I've used this product for years. I stay with it because it offers non-silicone protection (I understand silicone can promote dash cracking with age), non-greasy touch (nice for not slipping off the steering wheel), and a non-glossy look to the dash. Non-glossy means it won't collect dust the way most shiny products will. It has UV protection. Just try it.

Well, I could not have said it better! Try Vinylex, and for leather, try Lexol products. Again... they are value for money!
