Appreciate >any tips. > Leather folks that I've talked to say that Saddle soap is out of date for auto seats as leather is tanned differently these days. A lot of folks use Lexol cleaner and conditioner. I'm not very fond of the cleaner as you have to rinse it quite a bit to remove it. The conditioner is OK. A product I like to use is Mother's. However, I've yet to see any feedback from the pro's on whether it really does anything for the leather. There's also a raging debate about whether the leather is clearcoated or not, and what that means to cleaning and preserving it. I don't have any hard answers on that, as no one seems to be able to pin it down, including the pro's. Bob -- Bob United We Stand
