Default How to care for leather seats?

How does everyone else here care for their leather seats? I see most of us 07 owners here have leather. Mine is beige, so it's a dirt magnet. I am starting to notice very light stains of my blue chair at work on my outie's bottom leather cover. I've seen Armor All leather cleaner conditioner spray and wipes, and some other leather care brands. So what do you guys use? Is this advisable at all? Any other tips?

ya know, on second review, I guess I dont have the leather after all.
This cloth looks alot like the alcantara suede though... oops...
Guess that'll teach me to listen to the salesman... Well, no worries, i like it, and it stays pretty clean...
If I dont, I guess I'll just get it re-covered. lol

as for how to care for them... i would suggest somthing like a good meguirs leather cleaner, followed by a conditioner... Just use your normal vaccum to get the **** off em, and then follow with the aforementioned. You should be fine.

Plus grab some Mitsubishi Leather Care Spray...they should have it in the parts department.
Now get yr stuff together and change the chair at work...what's wrong with you?

The best stuff I've found for leather is Lexol. It cleans, moisturizes, and doesn't make the leather shiny at all.

+1 - this is favoured by a lot of detailers.

I use to also use the armor all leather wipes. I havent used anything on my outlander seats yet. I put a towel on the seat when I get done work so incasedurning the day I sat down in something or leaned back in somethingit wont get all over the seat. I did vacum some lint off of them with a brush attachment. Where is that lexol stuff avaible at?

Its available at most luxury car dealerships and some specialty auto shops - but if you want a really good deal, this product is also favoured by the equine industry, so check your local tack and saddle shops, they will have the best prices.

Maybe it's me...but I found the Lex to leave a thin film on the seats. The wipes are just really handy to use.
