I have to admit, I've never heard of Pinnacle Leather Conditioner. I normal use Lexol Leather Cleaner and Conditioner, and have been very happy with them. You can get Lexol at any Ace Hardware store.

I doubt you will find it in Virginia. If you happened to live near Autogeek or CMA or someone in Florida, you might be able to buy it locally.

I like it, it smells great and is easy to use. It will make the leather very slick, though. Apparently this is to reduce wear on it (you slide over it easier). That part isn't my fave, but I like the smell.

I have heard Duragloss's leather conditioner smells similar but is cheaper and you can find it locally if you are interested. Many NAPA's carry Duragloss products.

I also have been using Lexol and it seems to be good but when you hear a lot of people talking how wonderful another brand product is...ya gotta give it a try.. ...I went to Pinnacle's website and the bottle of leather conditioner is about $25.00 and I called and spoke with someone at Pinnacle and of course they said it was the best stuff available... ...so I may order it straight from them and try it..not too thrilled if it makes the seats TOO slick...I may try it and go back to Lexol...

Then I wouldn't try it if I were you. Lexol makes my leather feel softer than they are after a cleaning (I always use Lexol's cleaner). Pinnacle makes them feel much slicker. I like it for the smell only. The idea of reducing the wear on the leather by reducing the rubbing via slickness is fine, but I'd still prefer softness from the leather. When I use it up, I'll probably buy the Duragloss as it is supposed to smell the same but doesn't have the slickness aspect (and is cheaper).

I agree, Aurora. For me, what I want is for the leather to feel soft/supple. I'm not to keen on the idea of sliding around on the seat when I go around a corner.

Thanks for the heads up...
