Is the leather really that bad?

I've had my car since Feb of 08 & my seats looks great! I use Mcguire's (I probably killed the spelling...) Gold Class conditioner/cleaner. It comes in a nifty spray gun & smells great. I use it once a week or 2x if I drive the car a lot. I love this stuff!!
Good luck, Mike

my seats show wallet wear, like an imprint in the foam...but other than that, they are fine.
Like the steering wheel leather, if you keep it clean, it will last and look better.
some products I have had good results with are lexol leather cleaner, 1einszett leather cleaner/conditioner, duragloss leather conditioner, 4 star leather conditioner, and Pinnacle leather cleaner. I typically vacuum it, clean it, condition it, and coat it with Optimum leather protectant...my leather looks pretty new @ 3+ years old and 30,000 miles

Now the leather seats in my Mustang look good too, even though the seat part is the only area that is actually leather. The rest is made of pleather or plastic made to look like leather. I keep them clean and condition.....no rub spots here.

Yep, Ford is making the new seats out of Soybean.

My seat does look pretty crappy... that rub spot near the door is ugly. The backseats look perfect though... probably because they've only had like three asses total sitting in them. lol Passenger seat looks alright.
I wonder if the new soy seats are any better or if I should just get cloth next time around.

I've switched to meguiars products now for the whole interior. Way less greasy than armorall. I actually think armorall is the reason I had some color rub off on the drivers side. Could just be the quality though.
I try to keep it looking nice, but not super worried because I want to put in custom leather later on.
