Default CG Leather conditioner?

I was looking on Chemical Guys site and was wondering what conditioner would be good to use on leather seats and would also serve to wipe the dash down with? Anybody have any suggestions?

Ive used their conditioner and it was terrible. I dont know of any product to be used on both leather and the dash. Those are two different surfaces that should be treated differently if you ask me.

+ 1 with DnD's comments. I've got some of the 2 in 1 leather cleaner/conditioner. Its not all that great. I really like Pinnacle's and 4 Star leather products.

Never heard of anything for the leather seats and dash. Maybe if you had a leather covered dash

I beg to differ on that. I have used 303 Aerospace on both dash and leather and I think it works great. I apply with a sponge and dry with mf.

I know that FMINUS uses it but it's not one of his favorite products...

Yea not a big fan, but its cheap.

The Smartwax conditioner is better and is formulated differently from the CG version.

But still not GREAT. I still like Pinnacles leather coniditoner the best so far.

I have Leather Master but have yet to use it.

I am a fan of the Duragloss Leather Conditioner. I even used it on my COWBOY BOOTS and they came out GREAT!!!

Um I just resently used Optimum Protection Plus on dash and on leather, on leather it looked okay but I still prefer a true leather product, I'm enjoying Lexol so far.

I haven't tried 303 though...mmm..

the CG leather conditioner is one of the few products that is at best "okay"...it gets the job done...makes leather soft...but the look is VERY shiny....the only thing i find it best on is lighter colored leathers because it is only leather conditioner that makes it look like you did something to the leather...on black it looks like you "oiled" the leather...
