what's a good product for cleaning/maintaining the leather in g37? i tried armorall but it's not great...

I think theres a thread about this somewhere, but I'll help you out. Stay away from amorall first of all. Second, are you looking for products that are over the counter or boutique products sold online?

I used to use Mr Clean Magic eraser followed with Lexol cleaner and conditioner, but there product isn't as good as it used to be..

Now I stick to SmartWax products:

If you're going to use anything off the shelf, you might as well use Lexol. Even if it isnt as good as it used to be, its better than anything else there.

I use meguiars leather conditioner and cleaner. smells great too.

it also helps get rid of the wrinkles on the leather. G35 have crappy leather.

Most Nissans have crappy leather. The leather in my dad's FX35 was getting wrinkled and ugly at only 19K miles when we returned the car. And neither my dad or I are fat or heavy - trust me. The leather in my 350Z began showing signs of aging at around 20k miles, even though I take care of it very much, and my car only has 30k miles on it now. My uncle's 1st and 2nd gen G-Sedans both look like ass, by the time they reached 10k miles. Every 1st gen G35 Coupe I looked at with my GF before she got her Audi had ugly leather issues, and they all had less than 25k miles.

Nissan/Infiniti leather is absolutely awful and cheap. My Audi A6 has 52k miles on it, and not one single crack, tear, wrinkle, or imperfection on the leather. My girlfriend's A4 is a 2006 with 27k miles...same deal, not a single blemish. My brother's 2006 BMW M6 has some very soft and supple leather, and yet at 31k miles, not a blemish to be found. My cousin's 2001 528i has 96k miles...yep, leather still looking great.

I've heard good things about Lexol. Although personally, I mix one part Woolite(the laundry detergent) and 10 parts water in a spray bottle to wipe my seats n shit.

Zaino "Leather in a Bottle" or Griot's leather care.
