I knew someone was going to ask. I had to order the King Ranch conditioner from King Ranch Saddle Shop and Ill have to do it when it gets here. I called 10 different Ford dealerships and none of them had it in stock, nor did they know what it was.

Dan, here's a post from Al-53. Basically, King Ranch cleaners is from Duragloss. Duragloss Leather Conditioner. DG222 is the 32 oz. (1/3 the cost of KR) AG has DG221 in 8 oz. Maybe PM Al-53.
Here's the thread. Read reply #3 from Al-53.
