I've used Lexol cleaner and conditioner for years. In addition to the E93 with the light interior, I have a 1965 Corvette with a white leather interior that we put in almost 20 years ago. I clean and condition it every 6 months and it still looks great with no cracks. I've traded in cars and trucks with over 100,000 miles that the interiors look like new. I highly recommend Lexol. It's easy to use and not expensive. Most auto suppliers have it. You can also find it at MB and Lexus dealers as well as many BMW dealers.

Yes, glad you asked this.

Two products specifically used to help clean/maintain your leather:

this is what you're looking for

The leatherique pristine clean and the rejuvenator oil.

2 step process does wonders and is highly recommended!

Leather Care

+1 Leatherique is simply the most amazing product out there. Don't get me wrong, Lexol is s good product, but the Leatherique System is in another league when compared. It's important to follow the Leatherique instructions to the letter, and, while expensive, you will keep your leather looking great forever.

Zaino leather in a bottle for the normal cleaning and conditioning, Leatherique for bigger issues. Zaino keeps the leather smelling new car awesome!

Yes Zaino is wonderful. But why pay a fortune if you don't need to. We have 25 cars in our collection Lexol does the job just as well as Zaino. Use it if you like it works well also. You pay alot for the hype but it won't let you down.

Lexol here, but what ever you choose, you have to use it or it's no good.

Agreed!!

But for everyday little touch-ups I use Lexol leather cleaner. Then use the leatherique stuff for your bigger detailing days.
