Lexol is the industry standard and the best stuff I've ever used as far as leather conditioner. I worked for a shop that did many custom leather instals and we tried everything and that worked the best. It leaves a very fine layer of protectant on the leather but it's very effective, most other cleaners leave a thick layer that just looks wrong, that's what's so good about lexol cleaner and protector. The other product I'd recommend is Armor All, it's a very common product but performs very well. Hope that helps.

I have Leather Masters but I prefer the 1 step ease of 1Z einszett Leather Care "Lederpflege". I use the Leather Masters 2 step kit when doing a complete cleaning and the 1Z every other week for maintenance.

Lexol is good, but does not absorb well on German leather. You end up with most of it in your clothes when you sit down. |

I use zaino, and that was with all my other cars I've had as well..NSX, s2000. Kept it smelling new for years.
Once it finishes I think I'm going to try the auto finesse leather conditioner.

+3 leather masters is great but as someone else already said it's more of a full interior detail type of product but when you want quick interior cleaning there are more options. i am going to be trying out chemical guy's leather cleaner and their conditioner as my quick route and keep leather masters for the full cleaning times

You have to let it set and absorb..dont expect to just apply and sit in the seat right away..a couple of hrs with the windows down is all it takes.
