Just ordered some Pinnacle Leather Cond. directly from their site due to free shipping at the time.
Anyone have any tips and tricks on using this? My leather is a pretty lite crème color.
Thanks in advance

Ton of info on this. The big thing is if your leather is coated or not. If it's coated than a conditioner may not be for you . Put a drop of water on your leather, if it's soaks in your leather is not coated. Is it rolls away and does not penetrate at all you have coated leather and should go with a coating. Just my .02

:iagree:

Most leather is coated: it only needs cleaning and protection (a coating like CarPro Cquartz Leather Coating , for instance).
 
Not a fan of conditioner on coated modern leather :p
I use these cleaner instead:
Meguiars D101 (1:9)
Optimum power clean (1:9)

products i would like to try:
DP high density apc
AMMO Lather

Regards :)
 
Great!!! Sounds like I should've asked first. I spent hard earned money on expensive conditioner when it's not going to do a darn thing for me. The Pinnacle won't serve me any purpose at all then??
A friend of mine who owns a body/detail shop told me to use Simple Green to clean the leather. Tried it on the dirtiest of all drivers seat. I was amazed how much crud was actually on the cleaning cloth.
 
I've seen ppl using dish soap, laundry detergent and woolite on leather, it came out perfectly clean too. Knowledge & method is the key though.
I had tried one of the popular brand leather conditioner and it feels uncomfortable for me. 303AP and optimum protectant is good choice if you really like leather dressing but I prefer it to be nude ^^
Guess we all spent fairly well on car care products before we even knows what worth :D
 
I'm a fan of the Pinnacle Leather Conditioner. Apply with applicator pad, and buff excess off with a microfiber. As far as a cleaner, utilize a mild degreaser, or leather specific cleaner prior to conditioning. Also I'm a fan of the new car smell the leather conditioner leaves in the car after use!
 
The best method to apply is to put the conditioner/protectant on an applicator then apply it to the surface. You just need a thin layer then buff off.
