Question What Is The Best Product for Leather Care for your Pilot?

Hi Guys!

I just recently bought my Pilot EX-L and I just want to ask what can you guys recommend as the best leather care product to use. There are so many products out there but I just want to find out what my fellow Piloteers trust and use for their cars.

TIA! =)

I used Lexol Cleaner and Lexol conditioner on my Pilot, and continue to use it on my RX 330. I use the bottled stuff, and apply and remove as directed. I tried another brand of leather wipes, and went immediately back to the Lexol.

I use Lexol tool. Don't use leather cleaner from Turtle Wax. It's crap.

I use Zymol leather protectant with cleaner(two bottles). Good enough for the "pilot cracked leather is good enough for me!"

Does Zymol leave anything behind like Lexol after is applied and has time to "settle" in.

Default I use Zaino

I've used their leather cleaner and conditioner since the Pilot was new and am very pleased with the way it works. Doesn't leave any kind of shiney residue that I can tell. Doesn't have any silicone in it and I don't have any cracked leather yet.

Lexol...........great great stuff!!! Been using it since my Pilot was new. Leaves my seats nice and sooofffft. I really think it has helped the seat sag problem too. I have just a little bit of wrinkling in the seat after 6 months.....but it is not bad at all!! Get the cleaner and conditioner.

Where is the best place to get the lexol? I have 2500mls on my 05 and need to get the seats treated but my dealer said they did not sell any products. Im assuming Advance or Auto Zone would have it?

Where to buy, posted on the Lexol webpage. Go to one of the 5 Pep Boys in Mechanicsville.
