Best smelling leather cleaner?

Damage Inc · 02-26-2012, 08:45 PM

I used to use leatherique but the new stuff I ordered is different than the old stuff. I ordered 2 different bottles from different suppliers and they both sucked. It smells chemical and "sterile", not at all like the old stuff.

So what else is good? I tried Zaino conditioner and it leaves the seats all greasy, although I do like their cleaner.

Lexol

Probably nowhere as good as what you've tried, but since you asked about smell, I love poorboys leather stuff.

Previously used Gliptone but have since moved to Zaino's leather cleaner and conditioner (not finding it that greasy though!)

Zymol has a nice smell as well. I've been using it for many years with great results......Phil

I've tried them all - Zaino has the best smell. Smells like patent leather shoes!

1Z Einszett Leather Care. German-made and designed for German leather, easy to apply, non-greasy, non-shiny and smells great.

Chris M4CS · 02-28-2012, 05:32 PM

Of all the brands I tried, Griot's Leather Care Spray is the best in my opinion.

TTG · 03-02-2012, 07:44 PM

Zaino, Zaino, Zaino.........

Did I say Zaino?

tibra1 · 03-02-2012, 09:43 PM

Auto Finesse Hide Cleanser and Hide Protect if you are up for trying something new. Overall a pleasant "fresh" smell to them...Will the leave the seats matte, no shine at all.

This stuff smells wonderful. Leaves the leather supple with no shine or greasiness. I love this stuff and best of all, it's a whopping $6.99 from Bed, Bath & Beyond! lol

I like the leather master stuff. I use lexol for a quick wipe, but Leather Master for a deep cleaning. Works great and the LM stuff gets an amazing amount of dirt out.
