Default Leather protectant for seats

I wanted to know what everyone uses to protect the leather on your seats from getting cracked, or wrinkled or anything. Im starting to get faint lines on the sides of my seat. And I don't want the part where i sit to get all stretched out.

Thanx,
Chris

Leatherique has worked very well for me. You can only get it a www.leatherique.com. It is a two-step process that makes the leather soft and nice.

Which process did you get. There's all kinds of filler, cleaner, and others at the top of the web-page.

Armorall leather protectant is also a low cost alternative to use between Leatherique application. It makes the car smell like fresh leather in a new car.

Lexol is by far the best leather protector around.

Can I get it from any automotive store? And how much will it empty my pockets?

I bought a quart of Leatherique conditioning oil and a quart of the cleaner. I have applied it twice on my s and twice on my 94 roadmaster wagon. The unique part of leatherique is the conditioning oil. You apply it and then let the car cook in the sun all day. This permits the colloids and proteins to penetrate the leather, displacing the grease and dirt in the leather. Then, you aply the cleaner and rub it off with a towel. It does an amazing job of softening old hard leather and leaves it pliant and supple.

You can get Lexol at Pep Boys or any other well known store,I think it runs around $8.00 a bottle.I've been using it for almost a year and my seats have very few wrinkles in them.

Do not use Armorall, unless you want to see your leather detoriate even faster. The stuff is garbage.
