    Hey guys,

    I am looking into a new leather conditioner for the less expensive details. Here are the candidates. Leather will be cleaned with APC before hand.

    Poorboys Leather Stuff
    Duragloss 221 Leather Conditioner
    CG leather cleaner/conditioner
     
  2. M3ride.

    M3ride. Wax on..Wax off

    I've used the CG cleaner/conditioner and have to say I did not like it. Left a scent too strong for me which lasted almost a week. And it didn't do too much to enhance the look of the leather. Just my opinion though.

    Thank-you. Has anyone tried Poorboys or Duragloss?

    I've heard Zaino is pretty good and I like my SCG Voodoo, it has a very nice leather scent to it. It's not a restoration type conditioner but it is nice for maintenance.

    Have you considered Mother's? I believe it is the recommended Lexus leather conditioner, or @ least it was years ago.

    Try Lexol. Leaves nice matte finish.

    Tried Megs, way to greasy for my liking.

    I noticed you said "budget", but my favorite is probably leatherique pristine clean. It contains a small amount of their conditioner, and cleans very well. The finish left is very matte / natural.

    I've used the lexol, and although it was a while ago, it created a bit of a sheen.

    I have used PB's Leather Stuff. it seems like a protectant with a leather like smell. It is ok. If you look at the trading section, someone may have one for trade. :cool:

    Get a gallon of Optimum Protectant - just shake the hell out of it before using cause it separates like oil/vinegar salid dressing!

    If you are on a budget, I'd go for Lexol.

    I'm going to give the Poorboys a shot.

    Surf City Garage Voodoo Blend Leather Rejuvenator. Cheap, works well, not greasy. I use it like this:
    1.) Pre-clean leather with SCG Dash Away.
    2.) Apply SCG Voodoo Blend with an applicator pad.
    3.) Let sit for 1 hour or more, then buff down with MF towel and a light mist of Dash Away.

    High volume I'd go with optimum just because I like the way it finishes dashes also. But I'm almost exclusively leather masters products on any seat that is not completely cracked open and destroyed already.
