here's a related question.... how about leather cleaner/protectants?
Having never used them before, I picked up the brown and orange lexol bottles, supposed to be decent stuff I guess. I cleaned up the mini a little before we sold it, seemed to work ok, but the seats weren't stained or anything, so who can tell. But the BMW had a few spots here and there, leather was a bit more worn. I spent a couple hours with the cleaner, then the protectant, and I gotta say, I'm pretty unimpressed. Likely I won't bother with that again. I don't think it cleaned a damn thing, didn't even lighten up the lightest of sports. It probably helped the leather a bit, made it feel a little less dry, but the lingering smell was/is unpleasant as well, now the car smells like crayons.
Is there something out there that actually does any better job than the nothing that this appeared to do?
