King Ranch leather...

Ok so whomever I had the truck before me wasn't too great with the leather. Got a few slices in it and probably not properly taken care of. I've used saddle soap on it and it cleaned up as good as it could but how would I go about getting some rich brown color back into it? This saddle soap stuff just cleans and then leaves a polish but doesn't appear to do anything for darkening the leather.

Wish I could treat the seats like my shoes..they get dirty/faded I just slap on some shoe polish and they look like new.

Any tips/suggestions appreciated.

I think this is Lexol saddle soap stuff... should I just keep using it until I get the results I want, this would be the 2nd time I've tried using the stuff.

Clean it thoroughly with Lexol and then condition it a couple of times with Lexol. One bottle is orange and the other is brown.

To do this properly you should be doing a two step process no matter what you use, clean first then condition.

Lexol works great.
