I've been using those Amour-all leather wipes (Not sure if they have them in the US? maybe it's called Meguiar's there?)

It looks pretty nice after the first application (yesterday), but I'm not sure how long they'll last. I think the full leather gel from the same series would last longer. But I just like the convenance of the wipes.

^ From what I have been reading Armour - All can ruin your leather. Get a leather cleaner and conditioner from zaino (z-9 and z-10) or leatherique

Hmm. Do u mean like using regular amour all on ur leather? Or using the amour all brand leather wipes will ruin it?

I use poor boys leather stuff and buff it often with a microfiber cloth. It looks good.

I've used Lexol leather conditioner now for about 10 years. Easy to get at most auto parts stores and works great. It lightly cleans and conditions the leather without any of the greasy residue remaining. I swear by it. I know many use the zaino conditioners, but Lexol IMO is just as good. Cheaper too.
