What do you guys use to clean and condition your leather seats? I have been using a cleaner and conditoner from zymol, but I've heard of people using saddle soap with good results. Any suggestions?

If you're looking for the "best" look into Leatherique's line... Runs about $50 for their two step process but I haven't found a leather product that works better.

I just use Eagle One cleaner & conditioner. Been using it since I got my car in 1999. Works just fine. $50 for stuff to clean & condition your leather is just plain silly. Really, guys. So much stuff for cars is just way over priced. If you like the Zymol product, why switch?

The leather used in Grand Ams is pretty tough and durable. It will take lots of abuse & wear & tear. Just clean it & condition it now and then & it will be just fine.

It really is a night and day difference as far as what the Leatherique products can do for leather. He asked for the "best" and its what I would consider the best on the market. It's the leather product of choice for Bentley owners and Rolls Royce owners. Then again its not nearly the same leather that's in a Grand Am either.

You also have to break it down to a cost per use because its really not that bad and lasts quite a while... You would only use the rejuvenator step 1 - 2 times a year tops.

Uh, no he didn't ask for 'best'. That's just what you offered.

If I had a 1/4 million dollar car with Connolly leather, then yeah, I might have my car care personnel use the expensive stuff, whatever would be recommended by the manufacturer.

To each his own... You really only would need the Pristine Clean for $17.99 as the rejuvenation step is needed for cracked / hard leather. It will blow away anything you can find on the shelves at a retail store. It is worth the $18 investment.
