Got the 2016 Honda Pilot EXL. can anyone recommend what's good to keep new leather looking new? Most products on the market seems to restore but what about keeping it new? Currently I'm using Lexol vinylex for my dash and trimmings and the leather cleaner & conditioner for the seats and arm rest. After applying the vinylex it leaves a darker and gloss look but the leather care kept the leather the same. So now my interior looks weird because my dash and trimming look darker and my seats look dry. I like the darker look but don't want to make it slippery. Trying product after product will be costly so can anyone recommend a product?

You want something that cleans and protects from UV damage. My current go-to's are Mothers (you can find locally) and Leather Masters. Leather Masters leaves the surface matte to the touch and is excellent--even on the steering wheel. It will keep your leather looking like it's fresh from the factory.

Leather Master Car Interior Rapid Cleaner S, Rapid Leather Cleaner, Leather Master Auto Care Master
Leather Master Car Interior Leather Protection Cream, leather conditioner, leather protector

Mothers does very well too, but the leather is slightly slick. These are the 2 I have:
Mothers Leather Cleaner gently cleans leather auto upholstery without drying or fading. Leather moisturizers remove oils and stains from leather
Mothers Leather Conditioner is formulated from premium neatsfoot oil and lanolin for dry leather auto upholstery.

Lexol has a cleaner and conditioner for leathers. Been using them for years and have no complaints.

For dash:
+1 for the 1z Cockpit cleaner and 303 Aerospace protectant (also good for other parts of the car esp exterior plastic and rubber).

For leather:
Poorboy's World Leather Stuff

Both available at detailedimage.com

I just picked up the Lexol yesterday and will be trying it today. Any issues in applying in colder weather? I'm in Idaho and it's been cold the past few days. Wondering if I should hold off.

Anekin, I've always had great luck with Meguiars products. Amazon.com: Meguiar's G7214 Gold Class Leather Cleaner and Conditioner: Automotive

HPilot15, I've always had better luck with any cleaning type product over 50-60F degrees. You could always do the job after coming back from a trip with the car warmed up... :29:

Thanks. I will give that a shot. I really want to get this done.

The Luxol conditioner will need to soak in a bit and then buff any residue off your seats. Been using it on my 11 since I bought it and the light grey looks great. Gonna clean / condition my seats this weekend.

If you run in to really dirty seats, the best thing I've found to clean is saddle soap. Does an excellent job. Follow up with some conditioner and your leather will thank you.
