BTW conditioner wont do anything as far as cleaning.
+1. Lexol is the stuff. FWIW, detail shops are no better than their worst employee.

I've been using the Lexol 2 step cleaner and conditioner at least twice a year for the last 3.5 yrs. The Dakoda leather has gotten glove leather soft after the min 7 clean/condition sessions, not greasy/slick and no static shock from the door after a long drive.

I use the 2 step also. It is important to know they chemically work together. I have tried other brands once or twice--they were in much prettier packaging, but not anymore.

I've tried Maguires, ArmorAll, Surf City, Zep, Mothers and several others, none work like the Lexol. There is a PH level in the cleaner that actually opens the leather pores and lifts dirt (after cleaning the leather has a dull/matte appearance), the PH level in the conditioner actually allows it to absorb into the leather. I've done heavy applications with every produce used and the Lexol is the only one that allows the leather to soak up a heavy treatment.
