Re: Leather Products

[Mike Klein <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This kind of topic comes up pretty often.  In general, Lexol is an OK 
product but there are much better ones.  I've personally settled on 
Leatherique -- it's really fantastic; their people are knowledgeable about 
restoration and you may very well need more than just a leather 
preservative or conditioner based on what you've said.  There may be other 
products similar, but in any case Leatherique is a big step above Lexol. 
It is available from the company direct by calling the number on their web 
page http://www.leatherique.com.

I have no connection to either company; no profit to me in any way no 
matter what you decide to do.
