leather seats

What brand of leather cleaner / conditioner is everyone using on their seats ? I want to make sure I maintain these seats the proper way.

Thanks

I use lexol once a week. About every month I'll use lexol cleaner and then finish up with the conditioner

The standard leather are actually vinyl impregnated leather. You can use pretty much anything without fear of hurting them. I doubt you can add any moisture into them due to the vinyl. I used to use Windex, simple green, soapy water, etc on my 05 and they always looked new.

I'm pretty sure that the only leather is just the outside edges of the 2 front chairs. The middle of the front 2 chairs and all of the back seat is not leather. The center arm rest and/or the center seat, depending on which you have, may be leather but its hard to tell.

Whatever leather there is, you can't go wrong with the products listed.

And, whatever leather there is is heavily processed or coated. If you can't smell it, it's not the good stuff, and I challenge anyone to get a whiff of leather when you put your nose to it. I too was frustrated when I got the Lariat leather for the first time back in '08. I was expecting the same upholstery that would present me with a nice aroma of leather every time I opened the door. Just like when you put on a nice leather jacket. These aren't Jaguar's or BMW's.

X2. I wouldn't trust anything else on the KR leather. It's the only real leather and requires extra care.

It's not leather like you think...there is leather there, but it's highly processed which makes it more like vinyl. The KR leather is even processed now to some degree.
