Leather cleaner and conditioner

There are lots of threads out there on what folks are using to clean and condition leather. Lots of opinions. Has anyone had any bad results or problems using Lexol Cleaner and Lexol Conditioner in their Aston. I have been using Lexol for years on BMW's, Porsches, and Benzes with no problems at all. Would love to hear from people that are using Lexol to clean and condition. Thanks

I don't use Lexol, seems to dry out leather in time. Lexol bottle label even has a Caution: Not for use on extremely soft leather. I've had great results with Leatherique. Both the conditioner and cleaner.

I've used Zaino, with good results. Several different products. On line, great customer service.

What's the best way to avoid discoloring white stitching?

I use Leather Master, leather protection cream. I do wash first and make sure is super clean. No discoloring on stitching. But for peace of mind, you may just try a small inconspicuous area first. Of course, once dry, wipe off well with a good clean cotton towel. I use white so I can see what is residue.
