Default who's got leather???

What are you guys usuing to keep your leather soft and clean. i use armorall leather care to clean, but i need something to bring back the softness and keep my front seats from cracking (the rear seat just holds my books) Someone told me to use saddle soap... HAve any of you guys used that stuff? BTW my leather is tan if that helps at all.... Any suggestions on products is greatly appreciated. Thanx guys!

Mink oil might help. You want a leather conditioner not a leather cleaner.

I use Meguire's leather cleaner. I'm not sure if it's cleaner or conditioner, but it looks amazing after each cleaning. I had some stains in my seats that other cleaner's couldn't get out, but Meguire's did.

here's what works for me, it's comes out great first get Lexol Leather Cleaner, use a damp terry cloth and put some on that, scrub the leather down and it'll foam up and clean really well. Then Wipe it down with a moist clean terry to get rid of the extra cleaner. Then use Lexol Leather Conditioner I put it on with my bare hands but you can use a foam pad, rub it in and let it dry. Then buff it off with a clean dry terry cloth it'll still look like theres a little on but that will dry in a few hours. It comes out amazing, not shinny, has a nice matte finish and it's amazingly soft. My girlfriend uses it on her horse saddle and what not for her shows and on her dad's Porsche... damn rich people.

So I need a conditioner, makes sense. Never conditioned my leather, so I'm sure it could use it and hopefully it will show much improvement. Thanx guys Keep 'em coming!

Just dont use armorall it stinks and it attracts more dust and dirt, so it sticks to the seats more. So just use a leather cleaner and then use a conditioner and your good to go...

you especially need a leather conditioner. the sun hitting the seats when the top is down.......well there's a reason the indians left the hides out in the sun. same theory applies here.

go to wal-mart and buy some saddle soap. it is usually by the shoe stuff. it is only like $3 a can and the can will last you for the whole car. Saddle soap will take awhile but it will be worth it. just make sure you get your rag damp before you put it on. it will help lather the stuff up and easier to apply.
