Favorite cleaner for Merino leather?

Letherique?
Griots?
Chemical guys?
Ammo auto care?

What are you guys using on your Merino leather?

I use chemical guys, but only because I have it... I'm not really a fan, largely because of the fake leather smell of the conditioner, but the cleaning/conditioning isn't really top level either. It works, I just feel I have to put a little more elbow grease into it than would like or expect to. I don't really have a positive experience with a product to offer, but I'd take CG off the list. Letherique will likely be my next stop.

FWIW, I'm a bit of a CG fanboy when it comes to most exterior detailing needs, so it's a bit unfortunate that I have to go to another supplier, and does not help my OCD at all.

There are a few good choices. Sonax cleaner and Sonax conditioner I use a lot.

BMW is good as well https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...hlight=leather

Meguiars leather cleaner and BMW lotion regime have worked well for our Ivory merino leather. Leaves the leather nice and soft and natural looking (not blingy shine)
