First time using leather conditioner...

Hello everyone,

Today was my first time using Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Conditioner, and I was wondering if it was safe for the rubber on the seats/doors. I am also a little worried since I sprayed a little on both of them and there are spots that are hard to rub out. After a while the conditioner should absorb/disappear, right?

That's weird...I just, no sh*t, used the Meguiers Leather Conditioner on my 8 today and I haven't seen any spots...I didn't think I was being especially careful but now you've aroused my curiosity and I'm going to have to go and check

I use Zaino leather cleaner and conditioner on all the surfaces inside the car except for the clear plastic on the gauges.

I use Lexol and find that I get darker/glossier spots depending on how heavy the application was to a given area. I reapply to the lighter areas & it evens it out.
