Lexol smells awful. Need other recommendations for leather care.
Lexol smells like a chemical, just horrible. The best way I can describe the smell is "Medical Grade Antiseptic". Another description would be "Sterile". I heard it used to smell good, but now made in China.
Is there a leather cleaner and conditioner that has a leather or new car scent? Also wanting my black seats to dry with a satin finish after conditioning, just like when car was brand new. Shiney and slippery is unexceptable. Last edited by BKSinAZ; 10-05-2022 at 12:24 PM.. |

Doesn’t smell like roses, but not bad. Excellent cleaner and conditioner in one step. Matt finish. |

Agreed, I like chemical guys for the interior too. Usually use only carpro products for the exterior but I'm not a fan of slippery and shiny either so I stick with the sprayable leather or total interior cleaner which I think I like better. Just avoid spraying on tint films if you have it

So far I've been using Gtechniq L1 Leather Guard and I love it. Has kept leather seats and steering wheel matt and looking new. A plus is it lasts longer than simple protectant. I clean everything off with Tri-Clean and then use L1 Leather Guard on the seats, door cards and steering heel and use Matt dash on the dash and the door parts that aren't leather.

Gyeon Leather Cleaner + Care is great as well as Colourlock. I believe Colourlock is regarded as the best hands down by most professional detailers.

Good performer
I have been using Pinnacle for years. It really helps hydrate the leather without leaving residue. They make a good cleaner as well.
