My $0.02. I hate Lexol. It did nothing but empty my wallet and cover the seats in a mucky substance. I have found that the Griots Garage leather care stuff works well and smells good, too. I have found some 'Ottawa leather' cleaner/conditioner which does work as well. The cleaner is a beige liquid that sprays on and the conditioner is in a purple bottle and is a cream which squirts on. I found them at some parts stores and other department stores.
