Lexol 1316 Leather Care Pads

A little greasy and messy but really cleans well and is easy to use.

I can't believe I lived without this. I use it for EVERYTHING leather that I own- furniture, clothing, purses and shoes, saddle and bridles etc. it's simple and easy to se. Highly recommend these for busy people.

These are wet pads that will leave film and small fabric residue after application, your hands will be oily and messy so be ready to have something to wipe them with. The seats show a sign of life afterwards but the application process is messy. I rather have a spray application than these wet pads.

Very convenient easy to use. Unlike traditional wipes; this is a heavy duty pad, enabling you to clean and condition with one application. Great new product!

Worked great on my Tumi briefcase/computer carrier. Looks as new as the first day I bought it.

Lexol pads are far easier to use than squirting the liqued around.

I am very impressed with this product. I found that one pad went a long way. I have a 5 year old car and I typically clean the leather once a year, so it was in fairly good shape to start with. I completely cleaned my two front seats with one pad, and still was able to use it for part of the back seat (the back of the front seats are plastic so I didn't use it there). I then used another pad to finish off the rest of the back seat.My seats weren't particularly dirty but the driver seat did have some kind of black sticky stain and smudging from my blue jeans. It all came off and I was left with perfectly clean seats. I was so impressed I decided to see what I could do with my husbands 13 year old leather seats that have NEVER been cleaned. He has beige leather but I swear there were large sections that looked dark brown. It took one whole pad to clean his drivers seat, but by gosh, it totally cleaned it like new! I should have taken a picture. Plus his arm rest was covered in filth to the point he had started wearing the top layer of leather off in places. These pads couldn't do much to restore the worn off part, but it cleaned the rest back to its original tan color. I couldn't help thinking that if he had been using these to clean and condition his leather he would have any work off parts.So overall they do a fantastic job of cleaning and conditioning. I only have one complaint and that is they left my seats, not sticky, but just not glossy like they had been. I did buff at them a bit but it didn't help. Basically you will notice a bit of traction as you slide into your seat. I gave up trying to get them shiny and figured my bottom sliding in and out of the car would eventually buff them up.

I don't have leather seats in my car, but I do have leather shoes, boots and purses and this is a relatively easy system for cleaning and conditioning them. The pads are sturdy and generously coated with the product which goes on smoothly and easily. I was able to do two purses with one pad, so I think this supply of pads will last me for quite awhile. I only have two reservations: one is that it isn't quite as simple as you might think. The product needs to be dried and buffed so it's not as simple as put it on and wipe it off. There were some streaks and marks that required me to go over the items very carefully. The product does change the color of the leather slightly, in the way any cleaning is going to do. My second concern is allergies. As leather cleaning/conditioning products go, I believe this brand is better than some other brands out there (particularly those sold in auto supply stores), but I was careful using it. I have a strong allergy to formaldehyde, and that chemical is heavily used in the process of making leather products. As a result, while I don't think Lexol contains it, the cleaning/conditioning process can actually bring out the formaldehyde present in the leather. I wore gloves to use the product, and I used it outside so I wouldn't breath any fumes. As a result I did not experience an allergic response, but if you have allergies you will want to be careful around any leather cleaning process. All-in-all for this type of product, it is very good.
