What do you guys use on the leather to keep it looking good?

 

I don't have the king ranch leather but for my leather in my lariat I use ArmorAll leather care gel and it works real good.

There's obviously a lot of products out there but what I have found and been told is to just regularly treat the leather and it will help keep it soft and plyable (if that's the right word?)
I use McQuires Leather Care regularly, not expensive and can be purchased about anywhere, Walmart etc.

I use it everytime I clean the inside and it seems to work good on my 08 Lariet SD.

 

There is a HUGE difference is King Ranch leather and lariet leather. One is real and one is man made.

Any quality leather conditioner will work. Lexon tops my list. In my truck I have the man made leather and I use mother cleaner and conditioner. Works well and it has the true leather smell.

 

I use plain old saddle soap or tanner's pride conditioner

 

Lexol is a name brand leather conditioner, but most saddle shops will carry a generic brand of leather conditioner that you can use. I use the local farmer's neatsfoot leather conditioner on my saddles(which two of those are also King Ranch made, pays to know the master saddlemaker), but I have used Lexol as well and both work, just the one that your local farm store might be cheaper.

 

Thanks everyone. I was told not to use a conditioner that had any petroleum products in it because it would discolor the leather. I don't know if that was legitimate advice or not. The last thing I want to do is ruin the leather.

 

I have used the Neatsfoot conditioner for 2+ years and I have not had a problem with the leather at all(of course I knew I wouldn't seen I have used it on my saddles for almost 2 decades and on my grandfather's saddle and it's over 50 yrs old and I still use it to break the young horses). I'll try to post pictures of the way the seats look now so you can see if you want. Might take me a couple of days though, swamped now with foaling season upon use(supposedly not due til march, but they look like they can pop now).

 

Thanks Tex25025.

 

I use the conditioner that King Ranch sells on their web site. www.KingRanch.com
if i remember correctly it goes for $9 a bottle

I took it off roading, I parked in a gravel parking lot

 

The blood of my fallen enemies...lol
My grandfather has always used the Neatsfoot conditioner and his truck has always looked top-notch

 

Lexol is a good product. Thats my vote too!

 

The important point is to clean the leather before you treat it. Keep listening to those horse guys...saddles are expensive too!

I use saddle soap on my King Ranch once a year and use Lexol and mink oil twice a year....mine are still in great shape.

I use Lexol cleaner and Lexol conditioner. (brown bottle and orange bottle)

It works really good. I asked around for awhile before I decided to use these products.

Also, if you go that way, I ordered from http://www.jeffersequine.com

Lexol said that they are about the cheapest of the online retailers, and their shipping is cheap too.

 

I use lexol on my saddle, Tractor Supply has pretty good prices.
