I too, use the Meguiars sheets on a regular basis in the
Texas blast furnace summers here in Dallas. When I crawl
into my Ruby after a hard day at work, the thermometer
in my air vent tells me that the interior is 140 degrees.
And that's WITH a dash shield! That kind of heat has to
dry out the leather...

Lexol makes a leather conditioning oil, too, if your hides are in need of moisturizing.

We have that kind of heat and humidity in Louisville, too, this time of year. And I have a glass top on my car to boot. But my seats and interior look showroom new thanks to Lexol and Formula 2001 by Turtle Wax. That's the best combo I've tried to date!

Awhile back there was a posting on a product for reconditioning and repairing leather. I remember being pretty amazed at the results, especially on cracks and tears. Anyone remember the name or the thread on the product?

Wow! If that's an '88 and you've used Lexol, you're almost a rolling ad for them! Looks really, really good.

My 92 seats look equally good and I'm a Lexol user, too. You can get it at AutoZone and most other auto parts stores. It's great stuff!
