Good stuff, I do appreciate all your advice. I'll try the minks oil first, since thats what I normally use on my boots. Once I get everything as it should be, I'll try using the KR conditioner to keep it that way. I know that the minks oil does rub off a little on my jeans, but hopefully the KR won't. Don't think my boss would like me coming in with dark spots all up the back of my uniform. And if all else fails, while I'm working to bring the seats back to life, I'll throw a light sheet or something over it while I'm driving.

Thanks again.

I'm sure there are alternatives so just try it and if you don't like it use something else. That leather is thirsty and it will be awesome with the oil rubbed in. It doesn't leave a greasy sticky surface as long as you don't overdo it.
I have used mink oil on boots for years.........great stuff.

The only downside.........it take a lot of time catching all those minks and squeezing the oil out of them.......

I don't have KR leather, but all of our vehicles have leather. This stuff works extremely well:Leatherique 32oz leather cleaner conditioner kit contains Leatherique leather care & restoration products. but is labor intensive and a messy process initially, but WELL worth the effort.
They have smaller kits, but it works especially well on older leather to clean, I treat mine once a year or so with this, and in between use Adam's leather cleaner / conditioner.

Lemon Pledge works great! Cleans and protects. Give it a try, you'll be surprised.

One thing to remember, the leather has to be cleaned first and then treated. Just glopping mink oil over dirty leather isn't going to give good results.

Just wiped down and conditioned my seats today. Here is what my regiment of wiping down with baby wipes then applying KR leather conditioner looks like after 45k miles.

I have used many products, and the best I have found is Pinnacle Leather Cleaner then their leather conditioner, I use it on my 2013 KR and my wife's Infinity. I purchase online from Auto Geek,,,lots of quality products, however I stick with the Pinnacle Black Label,,,,
