Swear57 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 What’s the best leather cleaner & softener. The seats & top on my 18 Cadillac are so brittle every time you get in, it’s like sitting on glass & it cracks more. The top hasn’t been down since 1970 & it would just shatter. I have been using leather soap & conditioner for saddles. Both top & seats are original. Thanks Jim S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Eaton Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Lexol has been old reliable for years........ used by people with horses for their leather equipment. Depending on where you live, something made for baseball gloves would also help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadmaster37 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 So what could I use on running boards to keep them from cracking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viv w Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I saw an article somewhere suggesting to use vaseline, clear petroleum jelly, it makes sense as it works on dry, chapped skin, but has anyone tried it on leather seats?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee H Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Another vote for Lexol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 My dad did this interior in 1961. He has been putting Lexol on it for over 60 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
