Is there a product that will clean my leather seats and not make them slippery? The leather seats on the 99 Acura TL are very soft and it seems no matter what leather cleaner I use it makes the seats super slippery.
 
I would recommend you purchase an inexpensive steamer. Use it properly and you will have great results without any slipperiness from leftover product. Plus, you will have a steamer for other projects.
 
I have been using Lexol Leather Cleaner followed by Lexol Leather Conditioner for years. It's great on leather seats as well as on expensive leather coats.
 
Another thing I like about the Lexol conditioner is it doesn't leave the surface slippery at all....:props:
 
One of the things I really enjoy about Mothers is it cleans with the best of them and dries completely dry within minutes. You can definitely tell there's no dressings or oils or protectants in the cleaner by the surface it leaves behind. Then their conditioner leaves a very soft surface with no grease or no slippery feeling or appearance.

Most defiantly a brand/product that goes on the very underestimated list! Mothers is the only leather products in my cabinet. Not saying there's not better out there, but I'd argue there's not better out there for the price. IMHO, better than Lexol.

Even their reflections line leather cleaner/conditioner is good. It's a combined product that I use for in between maintenance and very happy with also. Can't go wrong.
 
Lexol. Do it at the end of the day if possible, or some other time you won't be using your vehicle for several hours, to let the second step (conditioner) soak in. I have used it for a lot of years. Seat will not be slippery.

Always try cleaning any leather seat with a clean towel and warm water first. Leather doesn't like a lot of chemicals.
 
Leatherique products did a nice job with my 99 bimmer's seats and steering wheel. The seats are not slick, just clean and soft.
 
I did the Lexol trick on my seats after watching the Mike Phillips video. Lexol did wonders and my seats never looked better. This is now a maintenance thing for me at once a month.
 
I'm finding it hard to believe all the Lexol love in this thread.... it's by far the worst conditioner I've ever used!

LeatherMasters makes a seperate cleaner and protectant, this might be a good choice.
 
I have been using Optimum Power Clean at 10:1 for all leather cleaning.
 
I use Lexol on my Acadia (leather) and CC (leatherette); two separate products. I find it suits my needs very well. The biggest thing I notice is that dust just does not seem to settle on the seats at all. Bonus!
 
Well, these are only opinions based on individual results. Your results may be different, leading you to a different product. That is why there is diversity in the detailing product industry. If people did not have different preferences, competitors could not keep selling their products.
 
In my opinion Leatherique is the best. It restores leather to its original appearance. My truck's leather was glossy and slippery, and nothing worked properly. Then I tried Leatherique.

It is absolutely amazing. The steering wheel is the biggest improvement. After 7 to 10 applications it looks like new. Every time I grab the steering wheel I am glad I use it. It feels like it did the day I drove it off the lot.

I apply it once a month and after two years of use in the Texas heat the seats still look like new. Plus, because it removes the dirt, the truck smells like leather. Everyone comments on it when they get into the truck.
 
Thanks to all. Over time, I will try them all to compare. Thanks, again, I do appreciate your inputs.
 
I've been using Leather Masters Strong Leather cleaner and LM Protection cream for over 20 years and have not found a product that cleans as well or protects as well.
