So I have a full garage of cleaning products and my own preferences to everything except leather cleaners, restorers or conditioner and protectants. I used to use Lexol. I just purchased a 2006 2500 hd Lt with full leather. I always buy cloth. What brand of professional long lasting products do you use?

Also looking for recommendations for aluminum polish and seal for some Eagle off road rims. For most of my chrome or stainless steel I use meguiars metal polish. I plan on buying one of the polish balls and polishing the rims with something.

I use 303 products on my interior any plastics and my whole motorcycle with great long lasting results. Anyone use their leather products?

Thank you for the ideas and recommendations!

I posted this before, but I had the exact same question over the auto geek forms about two years ago. I wanted something that was like 303 but a little more Matte, so it just looks new and not shining or dull. Just new....The resounding answer after 6 pages was Poorboys natural look, I still use it today, cheap, all in one clean/ protect.

Thanks Glen that seems to be what I am looking for in a clean and protect. Would you say it may restore on older leather? Truck has low miles for a Diesel but like all chevrolet leather I have seen after 11 years not taken care of frequently gets the little cracks and and a little dry.

It is a multi-surface product, that is used on plastic finished leather like we have in the Camaro. You're actually cleaning plastic, never get to the leather.

I would imagine if it's true leather without the plastic finish, an older car, you would need a 2-3 stage leather treatment kit.

Yeah not sure how much plastic is left on the leather. haha The front seat has the notorious tear with some foam missing. With the tall trucks people just slide in and out. Luckily I plan on adding new pads and leather to the driver's seat. The rest looks good enough to keep for a little while. I will get this to try as I like the non greasy matte finish you were talking about, plus it has uv protectant in it! Good call Glen. I normally read and research autogeek. Although this forums has some good people that love their car products like me.

I use Meguiar's Interior Detailer. It works great and I can find it at WalMart. Same thing - looks new and fresh - not glossy or wet at all.

I like Mother's VLR. I use it on shoes and boots also.

I like armorall gel leather cleaner, cheap and worka real well on leather, smells nice too. Have tried a nuch of leather cleaners and conditioera over the years, including some expensive ones, keep coming back to Armorall, isn't worth it to spend a lot of money.

I use A LOT of this on customers' vehicles. Leaves nothing behind and not much smell. Good product.

I am a big fan of CarPro's PERL (Plastic, Engine, Rubber, Leather) because of it's multi surface use. Due to the Camaro's Plastic Coated leather mentioned above, this can technically coat both for protection. It can be dilluted which means a little will go a long way. Also great for tons of other areas of the car!
