Default Leather Conditioner

Hey guys anybody use any of the leather conditioner other than like the spray on meguires? Something that really conditions and soaks into the leather? If so let me know what you use. My seats are in great condition and I'd like to keep them that way. Thanks fellas.

lariat or King ranch? If it's a lariat use Lexol conditioner and if it's a king ranch get some leather CPR.

Lexol ftw////// Re-apply it until the leather stops soaking it in.

I read on a few different places that most trucks have sealed leather up front. The exception being the King Ranch. This would make treating the leather pointless. I'm no expert, so that could be completely false though. I still clean mine with Mequires cleaner/conditioner just incase.
The back seat is vinyl though. So don't put too much work into it. Just clean it.

Not "pointless"; it just means that some leather conditioners that are meant to soak into leather will not work effectively. They still need a cleaner to remove surface dirt.

agree with Bucko, regardless the seats still require a good cleaning..Meguries works well on my FX4 seats...

I used the Meg's gold class for 6 years on my lariat, 1-2 a month kept them feeling new and soft, and never had issues with sun cracking or fading.
