Default how to apply leather conditioner on perforated

My E55 has perforated seats and if I try to apply leather conditioner on them, the stuff will ooze into the little holes and get stuck. How do you apply leathercare products in thise case..???

i soak a rag or padded applicator and rub down the smooth parts first, then go after the perforated parts- so that the amount on the pad is not enough to get into the holes

From my experience it depends a lot on what leather conditioner you're using. Connolly Hide Food, which I love, is a nightmare on perforated seats. Lexol however, is "thin" enough like a liquid (instead of a paste, like the Connolly stuff), that it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Otherwise, I try to use a light hand with the conditioner if I'm using Connolly, and for those inevitable spots that get plugged up with the stuff, I VERY carefully poke them with a toothpick.

Side note - I'm pleasantly surprised by Lexol. I'd used it years ago on my Excursion, but found stuff I liked better, like hide food and Leatherique. Well Hide Food has become very hard to find, so I got some Lexol today. It's not half bad
