Hide Food: Been around forever. Good conditioners. Thick recipe. Not recommended for perforated leather, it will clog the pores and is sometimes hard to work out of seams. Goes rancid easily, short shelf life.

I prefer Zaino or even Mothers to Lexol. I find Lexol a pain to use. The results are fine, but the process is more tedious and time consuming than some others.

Default I recall seeing somewhere

that it works well on British leather as in a Rolls, but isn't much suited for other types.

Also seem to recall that saddle soap and its ilk are best only for hard leather such as is found around a horse, not good for auto leather.

Stick with Lexol or similar, they do just fine.

That is great stuff...use it inbetween Lexol and Pinnacle leather conditioner. Pricey but worth it.
