Default Track suit leather conditioner?

I got my new track suit in the mail today and l can't wait to break it in. I generally stick to Lexol for leather stuff but I've heard of people using baseball glove conditioners??? Does that sound crazy? Also my suit has a lot of white so would that kid of stuff stain it?

Listen up folks. There is one supreme product for leather and its called Leatherique rejuvenating oil. Nothing short of miracleouse(sp) expensive but worth every drop. I use it in leather restoration on my vintage cars. Trust me this is it.

Ive been using this stuff to clean my leathers, helmet, bikes, furniture etc.. for years with great success lol...

Ohhhh Dont use it on floors as its slippery as........

Ive also used the Leatheriqu treatments curiously enough on classic car seats as mentioned earlier & they work very well if you dont mind spending the $.

+ 1 here. I use Mr. Sheen for years on all parts of my bike e.g wheels, engine, exhaust and cockpit. It's amazing how well it shines after a nice buff. I don't use it on plastics though, I prefer to wax those parts. For my leathers I use Nikwax but after oiling the chain and going for a ride I always clean the rear of left leg with Mr.Sheen. It cleans oil and gives a shine.
