does anyone know how to properly condition leather...i bought mequiars gold class leather cleaner/conditioner...and i rubbed it on...i just dont know if i did it right....

 

I bought the same stuff, smells nice, but doesn't seem like it's working too well on the really dry rear and hard headrests. Maybe twice a week application should do the trick. BTW, anyone had the same situation where their rear headrests are hardening due to the constant sun exposure? I'm tinting the windows soon, but not sure if I just need to replace them both or just keep trying to restore them to the supple leather they used to be.

 

I use a cleaner then a protectant about 3-4 times a year.

 

what if its a combo of both?

 

IMO products that claim to clean and condition don't work as well as two seperate products.

 

I use Connoly Hide Care once every 4 months. The kit comes with the cleaner, the conditioner, and some applicators. Doesn't take too long, you just have to let the conditioner sit over night. This stuff works wonders, I highly recommend it.

 

also...how do u guys get the chrome around the car to shine?im having trouble getting mines to shine...i hate the grayness of it....i want it to match the door handles...

 

Lexol is the way to go.....i use it on all my cars including the allante which nothing comes near unless its the absolute best. one things for sure NEVER use aramol all or anything else with silicone
