Default Griots or Surf City leather cleaner

In need of a decent leather care product. Plan on getting leather masters from autogeek soon, but need something in the meantime. They are both readily available near me, but I was curious if anyone has any opinions on which is better

Can't state either, but will ask a question. Leather Masters is your preferred product?

Picked up a 12 screw last fall with leather and want to keep it as immaculate as it is. Also have leather in a Solstice (which is nearly a garage queen). Looking for the best of the best for leather care.

How do you like it? My 05 as black leather, and I am cleaning an 02 Tbird with black and teal leather.

Yes. I use a sample on a '00 Explorer limited and it was an awesome product. Haven't had to maintain leather since, which is why I am looking to pick something up to hold me over.

I use griots also. I learned of a olive oil trick for interior, tho it works well on plastic it was a bit of a pain to spread evenly on the leather and a bit to shiny, so back to griots I go

A good APC and a soft brush. Today's OEM leather is coated to protect against moisture, UV, and other stuff so most "leather" cleaners and conditioners do little more than a good APC. Anything you put on the seats will likely just sit on top and be wiped away with you cloths and general use.

Not saying nothing works though... But I don't use special leather products unless it is on top notch leathers.

I just wipe on Mothers VLR and buff it off because I'm paranoid and have a OCD to "protect" my interior. A "Just in case" habit.

Now, I've never touched a King Ranch leather seat so I don't know about them...
