Leather care

Hi all, Im wondering what your all using on your leather for treatment? Im no stranger to leather and fully realize my new King Ranch isnt the leather of years past. Id like to keep it treated, but keep the oem look. No shine etc. Was going to pick up the King Ranch conditioner but Im wondering if anyone has used it and what the results were? Thanks!

I've been told on here, and by some others, that the leather in these trucks is sealed, so leather conditioning doesn't do much for it.
Just clean it with a damp cloth is what I was told.

The King Ranch conditioner is for the older "saddle leather" upholstery.

The surface of the leather is sealed. That means whatever stuff you're putting on never touches the leather. So, no, it isn't worth it. You might as well just apply the product directly to the inside of your trash can, unless you like the aroma it leaves behind inside the vehicle.

My wife likes the smell of Mother's VLR. Smells a bit like cinnamon. I've slathered that crap all over the seats of her last ten or so cars and it does nothing but make her happy.
