Perhaps no leather conditioning product is as well known as this product. It has been around for over twenty years. This particular product comes in a gel form.

Halfords Leather Valet
Price: $4.99
Use: Clean
Aftermath: Streak Free
Package: Spray Bottle
This is also a beloved product. It is presented in a spray bottle. Although not a lotion or gel, the spray performs well. The product must be sprayed on, then left for up to 15 minutes. In addition, it must be worked into the leather itself before being removed. One great result is that it has a beautiful, water resistant finish. However, for heavy grime, this product may take a more than one application. The product sells for $4.99 and may not be available in every hardware store. Recommended if you are looking for a great product, but you don't mind repeating the process to get results.
Simoniz Protection Leather Treatment
Price: $5.99
Use: Condition
Aftermath: Streak Free
Package: Squeeze Bottle
This product comes in a squeeze bottle. The formula is a white, lotion formula that has to be applied with a cloth. Similar to the Armor All Gel, it has a pleasant, clean smell. Simoniz requires a light buffing but performs great with deep grime. It does require a little manpower, but is well worth the effort. While it is water resistant, it does not remove very difficult stains, such as red fruit juice. This product is more of a conditioner, rather than a cleaner. Available at most hardware stores for $5.99. Recommended if you are looking for a product with a clean smell.
