Question For EX-L Owners

[07exlowner]

Does anyone use any cleaning products on their leather seats? And if so, what do you recommend? I have black leather in mine. I tried using Armor All leather wipes, but I think it actually made the leather look a bit worse (at least I didn't like the way it looked).

Also, does anyone have any issues with the loose spots in the leather (like it's not tight against the frame of the seat)? I just noticed this a bit on my front two seats, but it's probably due to constant sitting.

Have cloth myself, but there are some products mentioned in this thread:

Good luck.

I use Meguiar's wipes (cleaner and conditioner) on my CRV's leather and have liked the ease of use and the results. I have used Lexol's products on my lacrosse sticks leather strings with good results but not on my CRV's leather. Either one should be good.

I use Meguires Gold Leather Cleaner and it works great. It does not leave a shine on the leather and keeps it looking as if it was off the showroom floor. The loose leather comes more from someone sliding off the seats.

Lexol leather care products are the best on the market. Used them for years on all my leather seats and never a problem.

I used to own an automotive detailing business and I agree, Lexol is one of the best products you can use along with Griots Garage Leather Care.

Lexol and Griots, I have used them both and they are very good. Currently use Griots not only on my seats but the couch, leather coats, etc. I use Griot products almost exclusively any more because the average product from them is very good and it is one stop shopping. Instead of this from them and that from someone else.

I, too, am a HUGE fan of all Griots Garage products. They might be expensive but they are fantastic, all work as promised and better than the rest IMHO.

I´d recommend Meguiars leather cleaning (its a blue gel in a transparent bottle) and also there´s a Meguiars leather lotion (it feels and smells like people´s lotion).

The blue one is used to clean the leather, you apply it with a dry terry cloth and will actually see how dirty it comes out. The lotion is then applied to the surfaces to keep it soft and restore the softness (AND leather smell, I swear it comes back).

It´s a lot of work but if done every two months then you can just wipe off dust weekly with a damp terry cloth and seats will look always perfect
