for leather seat owners

the reason i.m not posting this in show and shine is because its more about driving your car then cleaning it. I love leather interiors, the feel, the smell etc.So i was very hesitant to do the drivers seat today when i detailed the interior of my SSL.Everyone knows you slide a little under hard cornering in leather seats. So after a lot of searching i used lexol leather cleaner and conditioner on all interior parts inside the car, and after seeing how beautiful everything came out i decided what the hell and did the drivers seat.To my disbelief when i got in and went for a drive the seat held me in place just as well as my 03 did. i couldnt believe it, its the way it dries i guess. So if you want a beautiful interior and dont want to slide in your leather recaros try lexol youll be amazed at how well it holds you in place. If i shouldve posted this in show and shine i apologize

Lexol is the shizza. Just buy the bottle of the cleaner and conditioner and not the wipes. I do it once an month and the car smells like leather all the time. People always comment how my car still has the new car smell

lexol is sick, the holding only lasts short term though, once you get in and out a couple of times it goes back to normal, stuff works great though

You have to do some heat conditioning for that, where you take out the seats, put them ina HUGE plastic bags, and bake in the leather conditioners. It's special stuff and I forget the exact process, but I remember a post on S2KI.com where a guy did it and lessened the cracking by ALOT.
