It took a small herd of cattle to make the interior of a Newell. What is the easiest way to maintain the leather? What products? I gave some thought to hiring it out when in Mexico next month. At the moment I'm using
Weiman Leather Conditioning Wipes as they are easy when travelling.

I like Lexol. I use the cleaner and the conditioner. I have also used Nuvinyl. It is good for protecting vinyl and leather. I followed your link to Weimans products. I've never used them but they seem to be serious about their line as well.

I, too, trust Lexol; both cleaner and conditioner.
I’ve used Adam’s Leather conditioner as well but Lexol is kind of “it” when it comes to high-grade furniture/leather care.

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but in addition to cleaning and conditioning.. How about color math repair? Maybe a decent kit to fix rub spots?

I use Luxol also on my cars, bought a gallon of each which might have been a little overkill.

I believe Richard posted about doing this, but I can’t remember the name of the company. Results were pretty solid if I remember correctly.

While I was at Newell, they had a Vendor "Dr. Vinyl." Did a decent Job, it's mostly undetectable, but was pretty expensive and didn't really listen to what was asked. Several areas that were promised to be done, weren't. And when pointed out, price inflated dramatically.
I watched the process, and believe i can finish the remaining spots for far less (as it was mainly a labor oriented job) At this point looking for the kit to be able to produce good results.

It looks like Lexol is the most popular. I did everything except the ceiling with the Weiman product I had. I also saw a 303 leather cleaning product available but haven't looked at it yet. Seems like 303 is popular with its other products.

Lexol is some great stuff. I have used it on saddles and tack for many years. Just be aware, repeated applications can slowly cause the color to darken.

I have had success using this product. You have to send them a small sample to match.
