Interior Cleaning

[chris_eitniear]

I got the Zymol stuff that I ordered late last week. So far, I've used the leather cleaner and conditioner on the seats and the vinyl conditioner of the dash and door panels.

First impressions, the leather cleaner works a little better than the Lexol. It seems to foam up a little more than the Lexol for better cleaning and has a more pleasant odor. The leather conditioner, after buffing, leaves no shine, the leather is super soft, and best of all, doesn't smell like linseed oil. Its too soon to tell if it will restore the seats as claimed, but I should be able to tell by the time I've used all of it.

The vinyl conditioner, well there's no gentle way to put it, the stuff stinks going on. However, after using it, the smell quickly dissipated and left the vinyl with a satin finish that is slippery to the touch but not greasy feeling like armor all leaves it.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with the stuff I bought, but I'm not sure its worth the extra expense.

It's always worth the extra expense to make your look good and feel nice.

I have a 2001 Le Sabre Custom with leather seats. I've been using Lexor to clean and condition the seats, only because I can't find Zymol in my area. It works well enough, I suppose, but I'm wondering what to use to clean and protect other stuff like the dash pad, and door panels, etc. I've been using Armor All for those, but I'm not really impressed with it. I should add that I'm a bit fanatical about keeping the car in good shape and would like to have it look as good in 10 years as it does now, so what's the best on the market that can be gotten in a rural area?

Does this Lexol do a good job cleaning the seat as well as protecting it? If not what do you people suggest to clean the leather seats with before conditioning them?
I just got the buy of a lifetime. My neighbor had a 1999 LaSabre that she was no longer driving. Been in her garage for a year. The car is in excellent shape 60,700 original miles and the only thing wrong with it is she was a PIG. The inside was a mess and now I have cleaned up it really well except the leather seats. The car is platinum beige metalic and the seats match. The seats are in excellent shape except dirty in spots. Would you believe that I got it for $800.00. I could not believe it either. Runs like a jewell.

Lexol makes a Cleaner as well as a conditioner. The cleaner is in an orange bottle, while the conditioner is in a brownish bottle. Pep Boys is the only automotive store in my area that sells it.


and sometimes i use simple green and a wash cloth on my leather. simple green is mild and wont hurt the leather


and might i add. HOLY COW what a deal. i want an 88 model, and cant find one for under $1500 and here you got a 99 way to go!!
