Leather conditioning without shine? - Nissan Murano

lvmurano · 02-17-2007, 11:54 AM

Hello from a new member ('07 Platinum SL). I've been impressed with the amount of information exchanged at this site and as soon as I get a good reading on mileage I'll post the results at the appropriate thread.

I've seen Leatherique, Griot's Garage, Formula 303 mentioned as good leather treatments with some controversy about Armorall. The last thing I want is a high gloss shine on the leather and the much larger amount of vinyl --- the appearnce of the new material is great. Without trying them all in turn, any opinions on a low shine treatment for both leather and vinyl?

i use auto glym leather conditioner for regular maintenence and then the leatherique treatment during the hot summer months. if you want to bring down the sheen, you can always grab another clean cloth and buff the seats down after a few minutes of absorption.

I have been using LEXOL for 7 years now. It is the best stuff your money can buy. I know of a auto detailer that uses it on Ferrari's, Lambo's, etc. I use their cleaner first, then apply the conditioner. The black leather seats in my 99 Maxima and 04 Mo look like they are still brand new!

I agree w/ sexy over there. Been using Lexol on all my cars and so far so good. It's only been about 6 years though.

GripperDon · 02-18-2007, 09:53 PM

I DID.

I've used Lexol and am very happy with it. Also used Meguiars leather treatment and its pretty good too - zero shine.

Another vote for Lexol (both the cleaner and conditioner).
Using it since 1999 in my Sebring Convertible and since last year in my MO.... The seats in the Sebring still look like new
