I use Meguiar's Leather Conditioner clothes..little pop-up cloths in a plastic can.

Warning though, they make the seat slick as hell.

Is there a leather dressing that doesn't leave the leather seat "slick as hell"? I'm interested in finding it too...

I use mink oil a few times a year. I put it on and let it either sit in the sun for a few hours or let it sit inside the garage overnight. Most of it will soak in.

Try Lexol - good for seats, jackets, and other leather products.

I like it because it doesn't leave any slick film or become greasy.

Lexol is okay, but I find that Vinylex made by lexol is better on vinyl and leather. Get it at Pep boys.
