Arrow Leather Seat Protector?

Can someone recommend a leather seat protector and/or sealer that may applied to the seats? Please provide links if possible.

Thanks

I'm using Lexol leather seat conditioner. It's in a orange/rust colored bottle. You should be able to pick it up at any auto store, possibly even Wal-Mart.

It seems to me that my leather seats and center console arm rest got "softer" after I used it, but maybe it's just for break-in and wear. Either way it's not so stiff so I'm happy.

Armor-all makes wipes (just like baby wipes) for leather. Easily stored under the rear passenger seat in a plastic dispenser. Just pull them out one at a time. Easy to use and stores easily for quick cleans.

Listen to the guy - Lexol is the best. Expensive, but you cannot deny the results. I've used the armor all wipes before for a quick clean... they are alright, but no Lexol!!

You may already know but only the seating surfaces on the front seats are real leather. The sides and backs of the front seats are "premium" vinyl along with the center console, dash guage cover, and rear seats.

You know what guys? I re-read this post and realized we didn't answer Okibama's ?. We all recommended cleaner/conditioner but NOT any scotchgard-like protectors!

Sooooo... anybody use anything to protect the seats?!
