Lexol products work well, and for what I consider the best product for real leather - Leatherique is fantastic on uncoated high end leather

I use Lexol but I'll probably be switching to Zaino once my current bottle of Lexol is gone.

Ok, I will share my wisdom.

Be careful with this......

Clean the leather with a Mr. Clean Magic eraser, but make sure you condition the leather right afterwards because it will be very dry

i replaced the leather seats in my yukon with genuine leather replacement covers. the seat shop that i bought them from in one of their how to videos recommended cleaning old covers that were not going to be replaced with Scrubbing Bubbles bathroom cleaner. i did try this on the HHR leather seats and was well pleased with the results. i am going to try this on the 89 when i get a chance.
