I'm using both kinds of Lexol. I'm using the regular on the outsides of the seats and the non-darkening on the seat center sections. Right now you can't tell much difference but with time I think it'll look distinctive.

Go to Tractor Supply or a Tack Shop and tell them you need Saddle Soap and Conditioner.. If you use "Armorall Leather" or any other "Leather" cleaner found at Wal-Mart or Parts Store, you risk destroying your KR Leather.. Believe me, you want GOOD STUFF! Ever try riding a horse with a saddle that is shot.. Talk about uncomfortable as hell.. Imagine sitting in that driving, not fun 
Tack Shop or TS can set you up... I'd learn more towards a Tack Shop instead, I'm not real fond of Tractor Supply.

BTW, I second Storm's comment on the armorall gel....IMO don't waste your money. I bought a bottle....and it's still sitting on the shelf in the back room.
BTW, don't foget to do your steering wheel and grab handles when you clean and treat the leather!

I wouldn't mind a KR yet I'm on a saddle quite a bit so when I'm not on one, I sure don't want to be driving on one LOL

Like I said, I clean it once a year and condition it twice a year. I have a KR Crew so it takes a while...both front seats, then the back bench. For me it'a an all afternoon thing...first the saddlesoap....let it sit for a few and buffing it out. THEN the Lexol or mink oil.
BUT, it's certainly worth it. Just take a long trip....I get out and my backside doesn't feel like a lump of concrete. The other think I love is getting into a hot truck wearing shorts and not yowling like a scalded dog because the seats are as hot as a griddle!
I was born and raised for part of my life just north of Kingsville...in Alice. I'll NEVER own a vehicle with black interior! LOL

All of my siblings still live around the MetroPlex....sometimes it's really nice to be away from all that madness.
I spent 25 years in the Air Force and retired in 99. I wanted someplace with four REAL seasons....I got tired of summer and football seasons LOL!
I was down there in Sept of last year....it reminded me that it's a nice place to visit....
