I have always had good results with Lexol. I have Zaino Z10 as well, but have not used it, based on what I have read it is also great stuff. Both are meant for leather in decent condition. For leather is bad condition I would use Leatherique, but make sure you follow the instructions.

Sonus for me. Can't say if it's the best, but it leaves the leather with a matte finish.

Another vote for Sonus. I like the non-greasy, matte finish it gives, and it seems to penetrate and nourish the leather in a way that other conditioners I've tried do not.

I have used Zaino and Lexol, now mostly just the damp rag after I dry the car. Think I may try the Leatherique based on the usage here.

Swissvax and it's not even close if you want the very best and are willing to pay for the best. They also have some leather products for restoration of old leather that is amazing. Lexol is terrible and so 1980s.

However, if your leather is in good shape then most leather products will do.

Look at what it did on this trashed leather seat.

That's really good. The M3 leather is very prone to dirt / soil. The Porsche leather is much more durable.

I want to order some of the Swissvax leather healer dye. I have Black interior leather but not sure what code I should be ordering. Anyone have any ideas on how I can find out?

I think it should be F034 Schwarz Black but might be wrong...

Contact swissvax usa. Or maybe contact swissvax uk as they probably have a bigger staff and will reply quicker. They have authorized swissvax detailers there that only use swissvax products for the entire detail process. I wish that they had that here.

I have never heard anyone that uses Lexol say it is terrible, have you used it?? I can care less if it was used in the 80's if it works.

That swissvax looks pretty cool, but the picture of the M3 certainly look like a different color Red where they used it, but it does look much better. Why would you need to do this for normal up keep?

Normal up keep I am more than likely going with Zaino, everyone I know that has done so loves it.
