Default How do you condition your leather?

Looking for good tips on keeping my leather looking new.

This is the first time I've had leather seats, so I am not sure what to use on them.

Ideas?

Leather is great, but it does have certain disadvantages...

Pros: Looks good, fairly easy to clean, girls like leather when naked....
Cons: Get very hot on warm sunny days, If leather is perforated it can be a hard to clean ie:mud, or double double coffee....., cracks etc...

I've been using Mothers leather care for years in my car and in one of my aircraft...two step process one cleans it up the other 'seals' it up.
It smells good, its easy, and it works great to prevent cracks and such....

Trust me, give it a try, and I'm sure you'll like it
Regards,

I JUST use cleaners. Remember, leather can be pretty absorbant, and it will soak up all that leather conditioner. Once it starts soaking it up, it will evaporate a little at a time on hot days, and you'll start to notice a slimy film on the inside of your windows. Thats your leather conditioner all over your windows now. I just buy top of the line tint that blocks off the harmful uv rays, and keep it clean with a leather cleaner.

heres what you do:

Zaino Leather Conditioner.. closest you'll get back to the "new car smell" also works great

BUT when your leather is really dirty or cracked (or if ur doing it for the first time)

Lexol - Cleaner (this stuff is great)
Lexol - Conditioner (will make your leather darker, richer, and rid of light cracks)

you gotta let this stuff dry and whipe the excess stuff off.. then apply the conditioner and let that dry..

You might try Zaino Z9 and Z10. It works really well for me.
