Car Forum / Acura Cars / April 2005leather care
I recently purchased a '98 Acura - I've never had leather seats before - can anyone suggest a good cleaner and conditioner. I've heard that you should not use a single product but 2 separate ones. Thanks >I recently purchased a '98 Acura - I've never had leather seats before - can >anyone suggest a good cleaner and conditioner.

My Acura seats dried up and cracked despite their careful diet because I had to park in the open all day at work. I gave up on my Miata and put seatcovers on it. check the forums at www.acurazine.com Most people seem to go with Lexol or Zaino leather conditioner.

Most leather conditioners are Lanolin based. Mothers, Lexol, Meg's whatever. You can even use Lanolin baby wipes. If your in a small town you may be stuck with a lesser selection. I've never seen Lexol or Zaino in any of our larger stores. Maybe someone else can suggest a retailer for your region. Good luck > Acura dealers sell the product they use for extended warrenty protection. > MZ [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > not use a single product but 2 separate ones. > > Thanks Thanks everyone - I had read about Lexol and Zymol. I didn't purchase the car from an Acura dealer, but a Toyota dealer - trade in. I did, however, purchase the extended warranty, but haven't looked to see what it covers :O) > I recently purchased a '98 Acura - I've never had leather seats before - can > anyone suggest a good cleaner and conditioner.

I’ve heard that >you should >not use a single product but 2 separate ones. >Thanks Surprisingly, Acura makes THE BEST leather cleaner in a small aerosol can. It comes in a black box along with two other cleaners for glass and plastic. It also comes in a larger pump bottle but I wasn’t impressed. The aerosol can makes the leather soft, slick, and brings out the leather smell. The cracks in the grain leather also smooth out. The pump version didn’t seem to perform as well. The black box kit sells for about $10 and has a black NSX on the front cover. The can has enough cleaner to generously clean the seats for about 2.5 cleanings.
