Current=Armor All Leather Cleaner/protectant
Prior=Zymol Cleaner, Conditioner, Protectant - All seperate bottles
Before Prior=MG Gold Class leather cleaner and conditoner

I know, call me a cheap ass/low class product user.

Maybe if someone could do a side by side comparison of the professional product vs. the OTC products, I might change over.

I like the all in one that I use now because I don't usually make much of a mess in the car so this is easier to do. I can tell when it is time to clean/spray the seats because it is a little harder to slide in and out. IMHO none of the products performed worse/better than the other but I find that with my weekend DIY time, the all-in-one works best for me.

I LOVE the look and richness that cleaning the seats brings back to black leather.

canucklion,

That's why Canada rocks! Your post for leather should be a sticky for those of us who can't use the search properly. Too bad you probably are a Maple Leafs fan! lol Grapes is the best though!! Sabres by birth, baby.....no sympathy cards please!

I use a product called Prime Protectant from Production Car Care Products. It works on leather, vinyl, and rubber, dries quickly, never peels, yellows, or cracks, and smells great.
