Default How often do you condition your seats?

I wax my car about every three weeks or three car washes (whichever comes first) and was wondering how often should I use the leather conditioner on the seats. I'm terribly paranoid about them cracking and this is the first car I've owned with leather...

Thanks for your input.

I use Lexol on my leather about every 6 months.

Which one? I use Lexol Vinylex. Is there a Lexol leather product as well? We have way more vinyl than leather in the car right?

Yes, Lexol has both a cleaner and conditioner for leather. The Vinylex is used for vinyl only.

Great. One more product to buy. So where is the leather, officially?

Just the seats and door inserts.

I condition my seats about once a month. The material of the lower bolsters looks so damn dry, esp. on the passenger side.

I use Meguiar's Medallion Leather Protection. During the summer months, I apply it about every 4 weeks to keep the seats soft and wrinkle free. Becareful some leather products contain animal fats and during the heat of the summer, may go rancid.
