Re: Dumb Question but easy

["Peter Loron" <peterl@cnw.com>]

If I remember correctly the Lexol label indicates that it may darken some
leathers. Probably the best thing would be to borrow somebody's or just drop
the $16 at Shucks and get a bottle of the cleaner and a bottle of the
conditioner and give it a whirl someplace hidden...low down on a seat by the
door or maybe in the map pocket on the back of the passenger seat.

I'm really happy with Lexol on my black leather seats. Now I just have to
get some of their vinyl stuff for the dash...Armor-All is way too shiny.
