For those with "leather" seats, what do you use to keep the material looking "fresh", so cracks do not begin to set in.

I have heard about the Meguiers wipes for leather seats. Right now I use hot soap and water.

Thanks.

Does it leave the seats looking greasy?

I think the cracks are going to start around 5K miles or so regardless of what you use on them. I'm eventually going to buy custom seats for my car.

No. not mine. Mine are tan leather in a 98 chevy Z71. Not exactly high dollar stuff. They are a little slippery for a couple days, but, do not appear greasy. It goes away quickly and leaves the seats supple.

I use either Armor-All leather conditioner or Lexol. Because of the material Ford uses, the 'character' wrinkles will appear regardless of what is used on it.
