Default Leather seat care

Mine are only 2 months old and already starting to see a big crease in the drivers side seat, do I need to already start putting products on the leather to avoid this...is this normal this soon? First time to have leather so bare with me. What should I do? What products work best?

I use Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner. Been using Lexol on my BMW and saddles/tack for years, probably the best, most reasonably priced leather care product available, IMO. Don't get sucked in to the overpriced stuff from Griots Garage or the like

When should I apply something like that since they are new and starting to already see alil wear. Also how often do I apply it?

2 months but how much time have you spent sitting in the seat? Is the vehicle garaged or outside. Outside with some of the extreme heat we have been experiencing here in the Midwest and Southeast will definitely be harder on your vehicles interior. For me, my house/driveway has southern exposure so the sun is just beating on it through the windshield, I will do it a little more often, say once a month or every few weeks (more so the conditioner). Lexol also makes a Vinyl cleaner/conditioner combo product for dash/doors, etc..

I had that early too.... it isn't the highest quality leather. I use the treatment ever 3 months or so... unless I need it (I have kids)

Well It has about 3200-3300 miles on it within 2 months. But I take nice care of the inside and out and it is garaged. It is outside in the heat at times but I try to remember to put up my sun shade. I have forgotten several times though. I dont see anything else taking a beating from the sun but the seats. Just thought it was odd they are already getting creases

I use Meguiars Gold Class Rich Leather Wipes everytime I wash (about once a week). One $5-7 Canister has 25 wipes, so it will last around 6 months.
