Leather seats

Whats the best conditioner to use on leather seats?

 

[JKmotorsports]

Not going to say it's the best, as I haven't used every leather conditioner out there. But of the few I've used, Lexol seems to be one of the better brands. Nice creamy conditioner that keeps the leather soft and doesn't leave the material too oily like some others.

i have that lexol cleaner and conditioner, idk man maybe im using it wrong or something but it wont get em clean or conditioned. i used meguires stuff before and it worked decently well. i want to know too what ppl use. also on the topic of leather seats, does anyone know where i could get the lower half of my drivers seat in gray leather?? its only a small rip right now but i dont like looking at it, its about 1 inch long and like 1/4 inch wide.. not big but still...

ckresto's site has it - it isn't cheap - or also u can take it to a leather shop.. and they can fix it..

I've found ebay to be the best place too. Try contacting some sellers on there. Many of them will do the whole seat with armrest for just a "little" more. I got a quote from a guy on there who will do it all for $399 per seat. Let me find the guy and I will repost his info. I don't remember his exact price to the lower seat piece, but I thought it was about $150 or so.

Thanks Jnicks and noemc.. im really not in the need of the whole seat, but jsut the lower half would be great. my truck only has 87,xxx on it. the drivers is the only one with a resemblance someone sat in it.

If you decide to purchase just the driver's side lower cover for self install I'm sure there would be many on this board (including me) that would like to see your documented "how to".

I've read that the only "extra" tool needed for a project like this is a pair of "hog ring" pliers.

Good luck!!!

ive taken my seat cover off before, my seat bracket broke underneath so the whole seat came out with 4 bolts, and a bunch of wire connections. then i jsut cut all the hog rings and took the back of the seat off and the bottom ( meaning there were 2 parts to this seat). then its just Velcro'd onto the foam. ripped it right off with no problem. then what i did to stop it from growing (the ripping) i put like 5 layers of duck tape over the object that was cutting threw the seat. itll slow down the process. you cant see the duck tape at all on the outside of the seat... so its not a hard task. itll maybe take me 30 min to do again..

Hey just a heads up this guy I found on craigslist sells leather seats for Tahoes in are year model for about $150 for the whole set. I was planing on buying a set but my tahoe suspension is pretty f!@# up right now so I dont have money for them but I plan on buying in the summer from him.

Heres his website http://recycledleather.googlepages.com/

And heres some pics he sent me of what he had at the time

Seems legit

 

[Kevs98hoe]

And its like 35bucks to ship from cali to md he told me

 

[sasquatch094]

thats a different style pattern in those seats then what i have on my 95 tahoe. i have like horizontal lines that get velvroed to the foam.. idk if there are exactly right??

 

[sasquatch094]

but looking on his site, it looks to me that they are the exact ones or similar. i may go and buy some off this guy and maybe get some custom embroidered head rests or something.

 

[Kevs98hoe]

Yeah I just didnt know if this guy was a scammer or not I mean he emailed me and he called me but the price is just so damn good to be true. But i dont know curiosity killed the cat.

 

[sasquatch094]

yeah i emailed him too a bit ago, he doesnt have anything for a 95 but he does for a 97?? wth. and he wont sell the bottom part, only the top

 

[Kevs98hoe]

Yeah he only had a tan set for me the one in the pictures i attached and I kept finding his craigslist at EVERYWHERE because I like to search other states for Tahoe parts.

 

[sasquatch094]

hey i just bought some new Maguires leather cleaner and conditioner all in one thing. i will give it a try this week and let your asap.. ill see how it turns out then obviously tell you guys
