This is the stuff that BMW and Mercedes sell and use as well. It can be had as a cleaner, and as a conditioner. No oily feeling after a few minutes. Penetrates into the leather and leaves it soft. The leather will not crack if you apply this monthly. I use my hands to rub it into the leather. Great stuff.

Your leather seating surfaces have a clear, protective coating over the
leather.(For King Ranch SuperCrew leather seats, refer to separate
section in this chapter.)

• To clean, use a soft cloth with Motorcraft Deluxe Leather and Vinyl
Cleaner (ZC-11–A). Dry the area with a soft cloth.
• To help maintain its resiliency and color, use the Motorcraft Deluxe
Leather Care Kit
(ZC-11–D), available from your authorized dealer.

I've been using armor all leather cleaner and conditioner cleans the leather good and leaves a nice leather smell after that is not to strong to give you a headache and has absolutely no chemical smell to it. I would recommend giving it a try its like $9 a bottle and you can do all the seats in your truck about 4-6 times depending on how much you use.

Instead of starting a new thread thought I would post on an old one. I used lexol on my seats took me about 45mins to do them all. I figured I'd do this every other weekend.

The seats weren't in good condition so it will probably take a couple times to get them to look good. I didn't get a before pic and I'm kicking myself for it now. But I got an after pic.
