Best leather products please.....
I haven't been on the forum for a while.
What is the best leather cleaners and protectorants that are out there now.
I have been using Woolite to clean with and several different conditioners/creams or liquids in a bottle in the past.
I have a Volvo C70 and a Buick Reatta (European and American leathers)
I just noticed a Raggto kit...is that a good or desirable product or should I stick with a cream (please suggest the best creams)?
Thanks,
Nic

It's a toss up for me between Zaino Z9/Z10 and Sonus Leather Cleaner/Sonus Leather Conditioner. The conditioner is really an excellent product, and I prefer it on perforated/grainy leather, whereas Z10 is nice on smooth leather.

I use Zaino Z9 to clean, and mix up Z10/Z16 (3:1 or 4:1) to protect and for light cleaning.
I've been very happy with the results and durability.

For cleaning I like a mixture of water & woolite (6:1). For conditioning, I like Pinnacle Leather Conditioner. I can apply it by hand (no applicator) and work it into the leather. Leaves leather looking & feeling GREAT!

I've tried the Adam's, along with practically every leather conditioner out there. I wasn't impressed.
The Four Star conditioner is very good. Zaino's is good but has a very strong leather scent, which will get on your hands and make you smell like a boot for hours. I used the Sonus the last time I did my interior and liked the effect, but not the smell. It is a very high-quality one. Griot's also makes an excellent conditioner. Any of these would be a good choice, depending on what you are looking for.
For a cleaner, I second the Woolite recommendation. That's what many car manufacturers recommend, and it works very well without leaving gunk behind or making a stain worse.
