Recommended Leather Conditioning

Just curious what everyone uses to clean and condition the leather on their seats. Finally what do you use for your dash?

Thanks!!

I use Lexol for leather, 303 for my plastic dash.

My family used to make shoes and knew a lot about leather, my uncle told me lexol has been around for a long time, he considers it one of the best. One thing about it though, distribute it evenly, if you spray and wait too long it will stain in the shape in landed in.

Lexol is fine but not my favorite.

1Z Leather from openroadmotoring.com is the best I've used. Leaves the leather clean and has no yellowish residue.

For the dash Klasse VLRP (vinyl, leather, rubber, plastic) is my go to product. Works well on steering wheel.

For quick interior clean ups I use the my #1 most versatile product for non-organic surfaces FK1 #425 from finishkareusa.com.
I buy it by the gallon on it goes on everything but the leather and canvas. And I mean everything. Wheels, glass, paint, headlights. I even use it on my touch screen and LCD monitors.
