Conditioner for Leather

What would be a good leather conditioner for the seats? Live in Canada and I can't seem to find the "Mothers" brand which i saw on a thread long time ago...anyone in Canada know a good conditioner available in this market?
Thanks

I just did all of the leather seats in the max this weekend. I bought Connolly's leather care kit. I wiped it down, then cleaned it, conditioned it, left the conditioner over night, then wiped down again in the morning. There was only one small mark on the drivers side that didnt come out, but the rest of the leather is really clean and soft. The rear seats look brand new. You can buy the kit here: http://www.pbma-fl.com/conhid.html

Mothers' cleaner and conditioner products should be available (or was available) at Canadian Tire stores.

Alternatively Wal-Mart sells the Conditioner alone, and you could buy the Lexol cleaner to use with that. It depends what kind of smell you want, but the Lexol Conditioner has a slightly strange, vaguely leatherish/oily smell to it (IIRC), and the Mothers has a coconut smell to it. Don't worry about it too much though, because these scents don't last for a very long time. Many shoe repair shops sell Lexol, or saddle (tack) shops will for sure.

Both should work fine as long as you do it every few months but don't over-do it.

It depends on what kinds of stains. Sometimes you need something stronger, a brush, or they may be semi-permanent.

Remember that all these leather cleaners (and combo cleaner/conditioners) are designed for regular, gentle use, not strong cleaning power.

Lexol is one of the best I've used and many detail shops in the USA. Had many years of good experiences with this product on many cars. Give it a shot and see for youself.

If you use Meguiars Cleaner and Conditioner you should be able to get a great clean.

As to the guy who says various brands suck cause they dont get stains out. Well as with most fabrics and material if a stain sets long enough or is the wrong type of stain it might not come out.

Get seat covers
