Is it just me, or do you absolutely HATE the fact that it takes a whole bottle of Lexol to just do the interior of this thing once

I mean there is f-cking leather everywhere.

Oh well, rant over carry on

Are you happy with the results of Lexol? As mentioned in other threads, I really didn't like the results / lack of.

Also, after extended searching online, Lexol doesn't really say much about using their product on fine 'nappa' leather. Many people online said Lexol isn't meant for nappa.

Works for me.

I tried Maguier's and was NOT impressed at all.

If there is something better, I am all ears and will give it a try my friend.

funny, I couldn't wait to use up the last of my Lexol pH - was never really impressed with the results, compared to the hype I guess

Zymol cream seems to work much better IMO

that, and I've posted before about Cole Haan (or Coach) shoe cream - hand rubbed

I wouldn't do an entire interior with it, but for select areas it's simply **** - smells sooooooo good, esp when baking in the sun... ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
