I use Zymol on mine.

Any quality leather cleaner and conditioner would likely work just fine. Follow the directions and all that.

Any thoughts on a good product for perforated seats? With the cooled seats feature it's hard to find a product that can be used on these type of seats. The total interior care Ice product from turtle wax works great but i can't use it on the front seats.

Why can't you use it on the cooled perforated seats? I have not conditioned mine yet so would like to know...

Leather cleaner does nothing for the non king ranch seats. The leather has a vinyl coating over it so all you need to clean it is some water and rag, mild soap if it's really dirty.

It's been discussed at length on this forum and is clearly stated in the owners manual as well.

My seats are perforated. Use the product LIGHTLY so you don't fill in the holes.

Also, don't squirt it directly on the seats. Put some on a rag, then use that to wipe the seats.
