Lexol #2 leather conditioning. Lexol #1 cleaner is good for first time or serious cleaning but I feel it is too agressive for monthly use. For that I use Jay Lenos, is slightly stronger than the DG stuff, enough to be worth doing, but not as strong as Lexol #1.
DG nonsense is my #1 interior cleaner. Tried a few and this one works very well with brushes, microfiber cloth etc. Right now I like DG ceramic interior protectant. Leaves no gloss coating, no extra sheen. For tinted glass I used to like the Eagle One glass cleaner, but since it disappeared from stores I’ve tried a bunch and never been happy. Any of them, including good old vinegar in water work best when applied lightly, and scrubbed in amd off. Then come back with new clean microfiber and using elbow grease clean the glass again with no product. That gives me the best results, personally.

I've used all sorts of stuff over the years, and as far as the purpose-built cleaners Lexol has been the best. HOWEVER, I decided to do a little experiment with the E90 I just picked up, and compare Weimann cleaner with the saddle soap in my shoe care arsenal. Turns out, the saddle soap is head and shoulders above in terms of cleaning power because it creates a lather and lifts the dirt from the grain. Using a very soft shoe brush is working very well with it, followed by wiping down with a microfiber cloth.
I've been applying Saphir Renovateur to discolored and problem areas. It's another high end shoe product, runs about $40 an ounce last I checked, but it is the closest thing to miracle cream that exists for leather. It may take up to a day to get the full effect, but WOW does it work. I'll try to post some before and "during" pics, cleaning process is ongoing. |
