Eucerin Lotion on Leathers

I heard this works good on sun beaten leather. Any lotion with lanolin in it works good. My cars seats look like sh*t. I've tried armor-all for leather so far and that makes it look shiny but doesn't soften it up any. If anyone has tired any remedy like this please step in.

DO NOT USE ARMOR-ALL... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD... That **** as silicone in it and it dries the **** out bad... The sun cracks it too... Anything that makes something really shiny has that silicone compound in it and it basically dries anything out... It also puts cracks in tires aka stress cracks.

Yikes, I am interested in this as well. I have some meguiars leather wipes that I hear have aloe and stuff in them, but I don't think they work too well.

My leather is very dried out and I've been trying to re-moisturize it. Does Eucerin cream work or can it damage the leather?

i use a leather conditionor/cleaner. not sure the brand don't have it in front of me to tell you the name but it words pretty good for me, but you do notice spots if you let it sit for more than a couple of min. It softens the leather really well giving it that feels good on your butt feeling

I've never heard of Eucarin as a leather conditioner. I've had a great results with Lexol's two part conditioning. First step cleans the leather, second step conditions it. If your leather is really dry it may take a few rounds of conditioning to get it rehydrated.

Not many of these products can "repair" leather if you have cracks or tears. There are are other products for that.

i too have used lexol two part. i kept using the conditioner for awhile now. my interior gots 190k plus on it and its a 95. still looks new, very minimal wear on driver side bolster only. i get compliments on the interior. i personally would recommend that and if you have it really dried out. spray and let it soak in for a bit before wiping. and lexol gives my black interior a nice shine.
